To sort array of primitive types such as int, double or string use method Array.Sort(Array) with the array as a paramater. The primitive types implements interface IComparable, which is internally used by the Sort method (it calls IComparable.CompareTo method). See example how to sort int array:



// sort int array

int[] intArray = new int[5] { 8, 10, 2, 6, 3 };

Array.Sort(intArray);

// write array

foreach (int i in intArray) Console.Write(i + " ");  



//OUTPUT 

2 3 6 8 10
