IComparable VS IComparer

1. IComparable

    public interface IComparable

    {

         int CompareTo(Object obj)

    }

    Return value: A value that indicates the relative order of the objects being compared. The return value has these meanings: 
   

Value	Meaning
Less than zero	This instance precedes obj in the sort order.
Zero	This instance occurs in the same position in the sort order as obj.
Greater than zero	This instance follows obj in the sort order.

    如果一个对象实现了IComparable接口，就可以使用集合类的sort功能进行排序。是按照从小到大来排的。但有时候我们还需要一些自定义的排序功能，此时我们就需要使用IComparer接口。

2. IComparer

    public interface IComparer

    {

         int Compare (Object x,Object y)

     }

在排序时就需要将此接口作为参数传递给sort函数。具体sample可以参考msdn.
