Hashtables are unsorted collections and do not implement any sorting functionality. An alternative to get sorted list is to put the hashtable values into a collection that imlements sorting. We can use System.Collections.SortedList as well as ArrayList to get sorted values. ArrayList al = new ArrayList (hashtable.Values); al.Sort (myNameComparator); System.Collections. SortedList sl = new System.Collections. SortedList (h.Values);
