您可以使用Reflection来获取属性的值。

list = list.OrderBy( x => TypeHelper.GetPropertyValue( x, sortBy ) )
           .ToList();

TypeHelper有一个静态方法，比如:

public static class TypeHelper
{
    public static object GetPropertyValue( object obj, string name )
    {
        return obj == null ? null : obj.GetType()
                                       .GetProperty( name )
                                       .GetValue( obj, null );
    }
}

你可能还想看看VS2008 Samples库中的Dynamic LINQ。您可以使用IEnumerable扩展将List转换为IQueryable，然后使用Dynamic link OrderBy扩展。

 list = list.AsQueryable().OrderBy( sortBy + " " + sortDirection );

不幸的是，Rashack提供的解决方案不适用于值类型(int、enum等)。

对于任何类型的属性，这是我发现的解决方案:

public static Expression<Func<T, object>> GetLambdaExpressionFor<T>(this string sortColumn)
    {
        var type = typeof(T);
        var parameterExpression = Expression.Parameter(type, "x");
        var body = Expression.PropertyOrField(parameterExpression, sortColumn);
        var convertedBody = Expression.MakeUnary(ExpressionType.Convert, body, typeof(object));

        var expression = Expression.Lambda<Func<T, object>>(convertedBody, new[] { parameterExpression });

        return expression;
    }

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Linq.Expressions;

public static class EnumerableHelper
{

    static MethodInfo orderBy = typeof(Enumerable).GetMethods(BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.Public).Where(x => x.Name == "OrderBy" && x.GetParameters().Length == 2).First();

    public static IEnumerable<TSource> OrderBy<TSource>(this IEnumerable<TSource> source, string propertyName)
    {
        var pi = typeof(TSource).GetProperty(propertyName, BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.FlattenHierarchy | BindingFlags.Instance);
        var selectorParam = Expression.Parameter(typeof(TSource), "keySelector");
        var sourceParam = Expression.Parameter(typeof(IEnumerable<TSource>), "source");
        return 
            Expression.Lambda<Func<IEnumerable<TSource>, IOrderedEnumerable<TSource>>>
            (
                Expression.Call
                (
                    orderBy.MakeGenericMethod(typeof(TSource), pi.PropertyType), 
                    sourceParam, 
                    Expression.Lambda
                    (
                        typeof(Func<,>).MakeGenericType(typeof(TSource), pi.PropertyType), 
                        Expression.Property(selectorParam, pi), 
                        selectorParam
                    )
                ), 
                sourceParam
            )
            .Compile()(source);
    }

    public static IEnumerable<TSource> OrderBy<TSource>(this IEnumerable<TSource> source, string propertyName, bool ascending)
    {
        return ascending ? source.OrderBy(propertyName) : source.OrderBy(propertyName).Reverse();
    }

}

另一个，这次是IQueryable:

using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Linq.Expressions;
using System.Reflection;

public static class IQueryableHelper
{

    static MethodInfo orderBy = typeof(Queryable).GetMethods(BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.Public).Where(x => x.Name == "OrderBy" && x.GetParameters().Length == 2).First();
    static MethodInfo orderByDescending = typeof(Queryable).GetMethods(BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.Public).Where(x => x.Name == "OrderByDescending" && x.GetParameters().Length == 2).First();

    public static IQueryable<TSource> OrderBy<TSource>(this IQueryable<TSource> source, params string[] sortDescriptors)
    {
        return sortDescriptors.Length > 0 ? source.OrderBy(sortDescriptors, 0) : source;
    }

    static IQueryable<TSource> OrderBy<TSource>(this IQueryable<TSource> source, string[] sortDescriptors, int index)
    {
        if (index < sortDescriptors.Length - 1) source = source.OrderBy(sortDescriptors, index + 1);
        string[] splitted = sortDescriptors[index].Split(' ');
        var pi = typeof(TSource).GetProperty(splitted[0], BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.FlattenHierarchy | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.IgnoreCase);
        var selectorParam = Expression.Parameter(typeof(TSource), "keySelector");
        return source.Provider.CreateQuery<TSource>(Expression.Call((splitted.Length > 1 && string.Compare(splitted[1], "desc", StringComparison.Ordinal) == 0 ? orderByDescending : orderBy).MakeGenericMethod(typeof(TSource), pi.PropertyType), source.Expression, Expression.Lambda(typeof(Func<,>).MakeGenericType(typeof(TSource), pi.PropertyType), Expression.Property(selectorParam, pi), selectorParam)));
    }

}

你可以传递多个排序条件，像这样:

var q = dc.Felhasznalos.OrderBy(new string[] { "Email", "FelhasznaloID desc" });

您可以使用反射来访问该属性。

public List<Employee> Sort(List<Employee> list, String sortBy, String sortDirection)
{
   PropertyInfo property = list.GetType().GetGenericArguments()[0].
                                GetType().GetProperty(sortBy);

   if (sortDirection == "ASC")
   {
      return list.OrderBy(e => property.GetValue(e, null));
   }
   if (sortDirection == "DESC")
   {
      return list.OrderByDescending(e => property.GetValue(e, null));
   }
   else
   {
      throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException();
   }
}

笔记

你为什么要传阅这份名单? 您应该使用枚举作为排序方向。 如果传递一个lambda表达式，可以得到一个更简洁的解决方案 指定要排序的属性，而不是以字符串形式指定属性名。 在我的例子中，list == null将导致NullReferenceException，您应该捕获这种情况。

通过表达式构建顺序可以在这里阅读

无耻地窃取页面链接:

// First we define the parameter that we are going to use
// in our OrderBy clause. This is the same as "(person =>"
// in the example above.
var param = Expression.Parameter(typeof(Person), "person");

// Now we'll make our lambda function that returns the
// "DateOfBirth" property by it's name.
var mySortExpression = Expression.Lambda<Func<Person, object>>(Expression.Property(param, "DateOfBirth"), param);

// Now I can sort my people list.
Person[] sortedPeople = people.OrderBy(mySortExpression).ToArray();

这可以用

list.Sort( (emp1,emp2)=>emp1.FirstName.CompareTo(emp2.FirstName) );

. net框架将lambda (emp1,emp2)=>int转换为比较器<Employee>。

这具有强类型的优点。

如果需要降序/倒序，则反转参数。

list.Sort( (emp1,emp2)=>emp2.FirstName.CompareTo(emp1.FirstName) );
