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 ...
}

以上答案对我来说都不够通用，所以我做了一个：

var someUserInputStringValue = "propertyNameOfObject i.e. 'Quantity' or 'Date'";
var SortedData = DataToBeSorted
                   .OrderBy(m => m.GetType()
                                  .GetProperties()
                                  .First(n => 
                                      n.Name == someUserInputStringValue)
                   .GetValue(m, null))
                 .ToList();

不过，要小心处理海量数据集。这是一个简单的代码，但如果集合是巨大的，并且集合的对象类型包含大量字段，则可能会给您带来麻烦。运行时间为NxM，其中：

N=集合中的元素数

M=对象中的财产数量

要在.Net 2.0上不使用LINQ的情况下执行此操作，请执行以下操作：

List<Order> objListOrder = GetOrderList();
objListOrder.Sort(
    delegate(Order p1, Order p2)
    {
        return p1.OrderDate.CompareTo(p2.OrderDate);
    }
);

如果你在.Net 3.0上，那么LukeH的答案就是你在追求什么。

要对多个财产进行排序，您仍然可以在委托中进行排序。例如：

orderList.Sort(
    delegate(Order p1, Order p2)
    {
        int compareDate = p1.Date.CompareTo(p2.Date);
        if (compareDate == 0)
        {
            return p2.OrderID.CompareTo(p1.OrderID);
        }
        return compareDate;
    }
);

这将为您提供具有降序ID的升序日期。

然而，我不建议使用委托，因为这意味着很多地方没有代码重用。您应该实现一个IComparer，并将其传递给Sort方法。请参见此处。

public class MyOrderingClass : IComparer<Order>
{
    public int Compare(Order x, Order y)
    {
        int compareDate = x.Date.CompareTo(y.Date);
        if (compareDate == 0)
        {
            return x.OrderID.CompareTo(y.OrderID);
        }
        return compareDate;
    }
}

然后，要使用这个IComparer类，只需实例化它并将其传递给Sort方法：

IComparer<Order> comparer = new MyOrderingClass();
orderList.Sort(comparer);

您可以对财产选择做一些更通用的操作，但也可以对您选择的类型进行特定操作，例如“订单”：

将函数编写为通用函数：

public List<Order> GetOrderList<T>(IEnumerable<Order> orders, Func<Order, T> propertySelector)
        {
            return (from order in orders
                    orderby propertySelector(order)
                    select order).ToList();
        } 

然后这样使用：

var ordersOrderedByDate = GetOrderList(orders, x => x.OrderDate);

您可以更加通用，并为您想要订购的产品定义一个开放类型：

public List<T> OrderBy<T,P>(IEnumerable<T> collection, Func<T,P> propertySelector)
        {
            return (from item in collection
                    orderby propertySelector(item)
                    select item).ToList();
        } 

并以相同的方式使用：

var ordersOrderedByDate = OrderBy(orders, x => x.OrderDate);

这是一种愚蠢而不必要的复杂LINQ风格的“OrderBy”方式，但它可能会给你一个如何以通用方式实现的线索

假设您有以下代码，在这段代码中，我们有一个Passenger类，其中有几个我们想要排序的财产。

public class Passenger
{
    public string Name { get; }
    public string LastName { get; }
    public string PassportNo { get; }
    public string Nationality { get; }

    public Passenger(string name, string lastName, string passportNo, string nationality)
    {
        this.Name = name;
        this.LastName = lastName;
        this.PassportNo = passportNo;
        this.Nationality = nationality;
    }

    public static int CompareByName(Passenger passenger1, Passenger passenger2)
    {
        return String.Compare(passenger1.Name, passenger2.Name);
    }

    public static int CompareByLastName(Passenger passenger1, Passenger passenger2)
    {
        return String.Compare(passenger1.LastName, passenger2.LastName);
    }

    public static int CompareNationality(Passenger passenger1, Passenger passenger2)
    {
        return String.Compare(passenger1.Nationality, passenger2.Nationality);
    }
}

public class TestPassengerSort
{
    Passenger p1 = new Passenger("Johon", "Floid", "A123456789", "USA");
    Passenger p2 = new Passenger("Jo", "Sina", "A987463215", "UAE");
    Passenger p3 = new Passenger("Ped", "Zoola", "A987855215", "Italy");

    public void SortThem()
    {
        Passenger[] passengers = new Passenger[] { p1, p2, p3 };
        List<Passenger> passengerList = new List<Passenger> { p1, p2, p3 };

        Array.Sort(passengers, Passenger.CompareByName);
        Array.Sort(passengers, Passenger.CompareByLastName);
        Array.Sort(passengers, Passenger.CompareNationality);

        passengerList.Sort(Passenger.CompareByName);
        passengerList.Sort(Passenger.CompareByLastName);
        passengerList.Sort(Passenger.CompareNationality);

    }
}

因此，您可以使用Composition委托实现排序结构。

基于GenericTypeTea的比较器：我们可以通过添加排序标志来获得更多的灵活性：

public class MyOrderingClass : IComparer<Order> {  
    public int Compare(Order x, Order y) {  
        int compareDate = x.Date.CompareTo(y.Date);  
        if (compareDate == 0) {  
            int compareOrderId = x.OrderID.CompareTo(y.OrderID);  

            if (OrderIdDescending) {  
                compareOrderId = -compareOrderId;  
            }  
            return compareOrderId;  
        }  

        if (DateDescending) {  
            compareDate = -compareDate;  
        }  
        return compareDate;  
    }  

    public bool DateDescending { get; set; }  
    public bool OrderIdDescending { get; set; }  
}  

在此场景中，必须将其显式实例化为MyOrderingClass（而不是IComparer）为了设置其排序财产：

MyOrderingClass comparer = new MyOrderingClass();  
comparer.DateDescending = ...;  
comparer.OrderIdDescending = ...;  
orderList.Sort(comparer);
