请让我用@LukeH的一些示例代码来完成答案，因为我已经测试了它，我相信它可能对某些人有用：

public class Order
{
    public string OrderId { get; set; }
    public DateTime OrderDate { get; set; }
    public int Quantity { get; set; }
    public int Total { get; set; }

    public Order(string orderId, DateTime orderDate, int quantity, int total)
    {
        OrderId = orderId;
        OrderDate = orderDate;
        Quantity = quantity;
        Total = total;
    }
}

public void SampleDataAndTest()
{
    List<Order> objListOrder = new List<Order>();

    objListOrder.Add(new Order("tu me paulo ", Convert.ToDateTime("01/06/2016"), 1, 44));
    objListOrder.Add(new Order("ante laudabas", Convert.ToDateTime("02/05/2016"), 2, 55));
    objListOrder.Add(new Order("ad ordinem ", Convert.ToDateTime("03/04/2016"), 5, 66));
    objListOrder.Add(new Order("collocationem ", Convert.ToDateTime("04/03/2016"), 9, 77));
    objListOrder.Add(new Order("que rerum ac ", Convert.ToDateTime("05/02/2016"), 10, 65));
    objListOrder.Add(new Order("locorum ; cuius", Convert.ToDateTime("06/01/2016"), 1, 343));


    Console.WriteLine("Sort the list by date ascending:");
    objListOrder.Sort((x, y) => x.OrderDate.CompareTo(y.OrderDate));

    foreach (Order o in objListOrder)
        Console.WriteLine("OrderId = " + o.OrderId + " OrderDate = " + o.OrderDate.ToString() + " Quantity = " + o.Quantity + " Total = " + o.Total);

    Console.WriteLine("Sort the list by date descending:");
    objListOrder.Sort((x, y) => y.OrderDate.CompareTo(x.OrderDate));
    foreach (Order o in objListOrder)
        Console.WriteLine("OrderId = " + o.OrderId + " OrderDate = " + o.OrderDate.ToString() + " Quantity = " + o.Quantity + " Total = " + o.Total);

    Console.WriteLine("Sort the list by OrderId ascending:");
    objListOrder.Sort((x, y) => x.OrderId.CompareTo(y.OrderId));
    foreach (Order o in objListOrder)
        Console.WriteLine("OrderId = " + o.OrderId + " OrderDate = " + o.OrderDate.ToString() + " Quantity = " + o.Quantity + " Total = " + o.Total);

    //etc ...
}

从性能的角度来看，最好使用排序列表，以便在将数据添加到结果中时对其进行排序。其他方法至少需要对数据进行一次额外的迭代，并且大多数方法都会创建数据的副本，这样不仅会影响性能，还会影响内存使用。数百个元素可能不会有问题，但数千个元素可能会有问题，特别是在许多并发请求可能同时进行排序的服务中。查看System.Collections.Generic命名空间，然后选择一个带有排序的类，而不是List。

尽可能避免使用反射的通用实现，这也会导致性能问题。

public class Order
{
    public string OrderId { get; set; }
    public DateTime OrderDate { get; set; }
    public int Quantity { get; set; }
    public int Total { get; set; }

    public Order(string orderId, DateTime orderDate, int quantity, int total)
    {
        OrderId = orderId;
        OrderDate = orderDate;
        Quantity = quantity;
        Total = total;
    }
}

public void SampleDataAndTest()
{
    List<Order> objListOrder = new List<Order>();

    objListOrder.Add(new Order("tu me paulo ", Convert.ToDateTime("01/06/2016"), 1, 44));

    Console.WriteLine("Sort the list by date ascending:");
    objListOrder.Sort((x, y) => x.OrderDate.CompareTo(y.OrderDate));

    foreach (Order o in objListOrder)
        Console.WriteLine("OrderId = " + o.OrderId + " OrderDate = " + o.OrderDate.ToString() + " Quantity = " + o.Quantity + " Total = " + o.Total);

    Console.WriteLine("Sort the list by date descending:");

    //etc ...
}

我为List<T>制作了这个扩展方法。

扩展方法将您希望排序的属性作为解析字符串，然后使用List＜T＞的OrderBy方法。然后，它将原始列表的每个索引设置为有序列表的相同索引。

public static class ListExtensions {
    public static void SortBy<T>(this List<T> list, string property, bool reverse = false) {
        List<T> ordered = list.OrderBy(obj => obj.GetType().GetProperty(property).GetValue(obj, null)).ToList();
            
        for (int i = 0; i < list.Count; i++)
            list[i] = reverse ? ordered[list.Count - 1 - i] : ordered[i];
    }
}

如果列表中的对象具有属性Name，则按如下方式对列表testList进行排序：

//For normal sorting order
testList.SortBy("Name");
//For reverse sorting order
testList.SortBy("Name", true);

我建议您将SortBy的名称更改为Prefix_SortBy。若要防止导入其他库时可能发生冲突。

我知道这种方法适用于字母和数字排序。其分选能力可能有限，但操作非常简单。

如果有一些重大的缺陷或问题，请告诉我，我已经编写了大约3个月的C#。

顺致敬意，

任何使用可为null的类型的人都需要Value来使用CompareTo。

objListOrder.Sort((x, y) => x.YourNullableType.Value.CompareTo(y.YourNullableType.Value));

经典的面向对象解决方案

首先，我必须向LINQ的伟大致敬。。。。现在我们已经把它排除在外了

JimmyHoffa答案的变体。使用泛型时，CompareTo参数变为类型安全。

public class Order : IComparable<Order> {

    public int CompareTo( Order that ) {
        if ( that == null ) return 1;
        if ( this.OrderDate > that.OrderDate) return 1;
        if ( this.OrderDate < that.OrderDate) return -1;
        return 0;
    }
}

// in the client code
// assume myOrders is a populated List<Order>
myOrders.Sort(); 

当然，这个默认的可排序性是可重用的。也就是说，每个客户端不必冗余地重新写入排序逻辑。交换“1”和“-1”（或逻辑运算符，由您选择）可反转排序顺序。
