List 泛型列表通用排序

List集合类里面有个Sort方法可以自定义排序。如果我们有个List<T>集合类，我要按某个属性升序或降序排序怎么做呢，我的做法是：List.Sort (Generic Comparison)

1:protected Comparison<T> SortByName<T>(string name)
    {
        Comparison<T> c = delegate(T x, T y)
        {
            if (x == null)
            {
                if (y == null)
                {
                    return 0;
                }
                else
                {
                    return -1;
                }
            }
            else
            {
                if (y == null)
                {
                    return 1;
                }
                else
                {
                    PropertyInfo px = x.GetType().GetProperty(name);
                    if (px == null) return 1;
                    object vx = px.GetValue(x, null);

                    PropertyInfo py = y.GetType().GetProperty(name);
                    object vy = py.GetValue(y, null);

                    if (vx == null)
                    {
                        if (vy == null)
                        {
                            return 0;
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            return -1;
                        }
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        if (vy == null)
                        {
                            return 1;
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            if (vx is string)
                            {
                                return ((string)vx).CompareTo((string)vy);
                            }
                            else if (vx is DateTime)
                            {
                                return ((DateTime)vx).CompareTo((DateTime)vy);
                            }
                            else if (vx is int)
                            {
                                return ((int)vx).CompareTo((int)vy);
                            }
                            else if (vx is decimal)
                            {
                                return ((decimal)vx).CompareTo((decimal)vy);
                            }
                            else if (vx is double)
                            {
                                return ((double)vx).CompareTo((double)vy);
                            }
                            return 1;
                        }
                    }
                }
            }

        };
        return c;
    }

调用排序：List.Sort(SortByName<T>("name"));
