Resorting a SortedList by key

Question

I have a SortedList which is obviously sorted by Key. Somewhere down in the code I want to sort it by value instead of the key so do I have to re-insert the SortedList with the value and key swapped? How would I swap the key and value? Create another SortedList and do a foreach loop to load into that?

Answer 1

made this one in a hurry. This will shift the type and return it with the key and value shifted

public static class Extension
    {
        public static SortedList<TValue, TKey> ShiftKeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>(this SortedList<TKey, TValue> instance)
        {
            SortedList<TValue, TKey> key = new SortedList<TValue, TKey>();
            foreach (var item in instance)
                key.Add(item.Value, item.Key);
            return key;
        }
    }
