The following code snippet sorts a Dictionary by keys and by
values.
public void
SortDictionary()
{
// Create a dictionary with string key and Int16 value pair
Dictionary<string,
Int16> AuthorList = new Dictionary<string, Int16>();
AuthorList.Add("Mahesh Chand",
35);
AuthorList.Add("Mike Gold",
25);
AuthorList.Add("Praveen Kumar",

AuthorList.Add("Dinesh Beniwal",
84);
// Sorted by Key
Console.WriteLine("Sorted
by Key");
Console.WriteLine("=============");
foreach (KeyValuePair<string, Int16>
author in AuthorList.OrderBy(key =>
key.Key))
{
Console.WriteLine("Key:
{0}, Value: {1}", author.Key, author.Value);
}
Console.WriteLine("=============");
// Sorted by Value
Console.WriteLine("Sorted
by Value");
Console.WriteLine("=============");
foreach (KeyValuePair<string, Int16>
author in AuthorList.OrderBy(key =>
key.Value))
{
Console.WriteLine("Key:
{0}, Value: {1}", author.Key, author.Value);
}
