linq排序，如何实现又有数字又有文本的string集合先按数字再按文本排序

 要用linq实现类似以下的排序

1, 5, 500 , LT, RT, 400 -> LINQ -> 1, 5, 400, 500, LT, RT

本来想自己想个方法，不过在stackoverflow上找到下面这个

	   int results = 0;
            // Grabs all voltages
            var voltage = ActiveRecordLinq.AsQueryable<Equipment>()
                .OrderBy(x => x.Voltage)
                .Select(x => x.Voltage)
                .Distinct()
                .ToList();
            // Order by numeric
            var numberVoltage = voltage
                .Where( x => int.TryParse(x, out results))
                .OrderBy( x => Convert.ToInt32(x));
            // Then by alpha
            var letterVoltage = voltage
                .Where(x=> !String.IsNullOrEmpty(x))
                .Where(x => !int.TryParse(x, out results))
                .OrderBy(x => x);

            return numberVoltage.Union(letterVoltage)

不过更牛拜的人说酱紫更好

return ActiveRecordLinq.AsQueryable<Equipment>()
                       .Select(x => x.Voltage)
                       .Distinct()
                       .AsEnumerable() // Do the rest in-process
                       .Where(x => !string.IsNullOrEmpty(x))
                       .OrderBy(x => x, new AlphaNumericComparer())
                       .ToList();

AlphaNumericComparer是对IComparer<string>接口的实现，类似于下面

 

public int Compare(string first, string second)
{
    // For simplicity, let's assume neither is null :)

    int firstNumber, secondNumber;
    bool firstIsNumber = int.TryParse(first, out firstNumber);
    bool secondIsNumber = int.TryParse(second, out secondNumber);

    if (firstIsNumber)
    {
        // If they're both numbers, compare them; otherwise first comes first
        return secondIsNumber ? firstNumber.CompareTo(secondNumber) : -1;
    }
    // If second is a number, that should come first; otherwise compare
    // as strings
    return secondIsNumber ? 1 : first.CompareTo(second);
}

or 更装逼的写法

public int Compare(string first, string second)
{
    // For simplicity, let's assume neither is null :)

    int firstNumber, secondNumber;
    bool firstIsNumber = int.TryParse(first, out firstNumber);
    bool secondIsNumber = int.TryParse(first, out secondNumber);

    return firstIsNumber 
        ? secondIsNumber ? firstNumber.CompareTo(secondNumber) : -1;
        : secondIsNumber ? 1 : first.CompareTo(second);
}
