How to sort a list of enums by the enum indexes in C#? -

i have enum:

public enum group {     administration = 1,     lawyers,     propertymanagement     bookkeeping,     secretariat } 

i have list of group also: list<group>. need simple way sort values of list enum index.

so, example, list:

{ group.bookkeeping, group.administration, group.secretariat, group.administration } 

will become:

{ group.administration, group.administration, group.bookkeeping, group.secretariat } 

(administration first, bookkeeping second, secretariat last, in definition of enum). looking simple way (maybe using linq), without manually looping or so.

array.sort() uses underlying type default compare elements:

list<group> groups = new list<group>() {     group.bookkeeping, group.administration, group.secretariat, group.administration };  groups.sort();
