Sort PageTypeCollection?

Vote:

Hi, I want to have a list of all pagetypes sorted alphabetically. The list is no problems using EPiServer.DataAbstraction.PageType.List(), but I can´t find an easy way to do the sorting. Any ideas? Regards Sandra Larsson

This code will do the sorting.


			PageTypeCollection ptc = PageType.List();
			foreach(PageType pt in ptc)
			{
				System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(pt.LocalizedName);
			}
			ptc = SortPageTypes(ptc, "LocalizedName");
			foreach(PageType pt in ptc)
			{
				System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(pt.LocalizedName);
			}


		internal static PageTypeCollection SortPageTypes(PageTypeCollection unSortedCollection, string sortProperty)
		{
			PageTypeCollection sortedCollection = new PageTypeCollection();
			
			foreach(PageType pageType in unSortedCollection)
			{
				System.Reflection.PropertyInfo propInfo = pageType.GetType().GetProperty(sortProperty);
				if(propInfo == null)
				{
					throw new ApplicationException(string.Format("Property '{0}' not a member of type '{1}'", sortProperty, pageType.GetType().Name));
				}
				object currentValue = propInfo.GetValue(pageType, null);
				bool inserted = false;
				if(currentValue != null)
				{

					for(int i = 0; i < sortedCollection.Count; i++)
					{
						object compareValue = sortedCollection[i].GetType().GetProperty(sortProperty).GetValue(sortedCollection[i], null);

						if(currentValue.ToString().CompareTo(compareValue) < 0)
						{
							sortedCollection.Insert(i, pageType);
							inserted = true;
							break;
						}
					}
					if(!inserted)
					{
						sortedCollection.Add(pageType);
					}
				}
			}
			return sortedCollection;
		}

Couldn't you use the SortedList?


			EPiServer.DataAbstraction.PageTypeCollection ptc = EPiServer.DataAbstraction.PageType.List();
			System.Collections.SortedList sl = new System.Collections.SortedList();
			foreach (EPiServer.DataAbstraction.PageType pt in ptc)
			{
				sl.Add(pt.Name, pt);
			}
