natural sort in csharp

You can achieve natural sorting in C# by using the HumanSortComparer class from the Microsoft.CSharp namespace. This comparer performs a natural sort on strings that contain both numbers and strings.

Here is an example of how you can perform natural sort in C# using HumanSortComparer:

main.cs
using System;
using Microsoft.CSharp;
using System.Collections.Generic;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        List<string> items = new List<string> { "item10", "item5", "item1", "item20", "item2" };

        items.Sort(new HumanSortComparer());

        foreach (var item in items)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(item);
        }
    }
}

In this code snippet, we create a list of strings that contain alphanumeric values. We then sort the list using HumanSortComparer and iterate over the sorted list to display the items in natural sort order.
