Is there a shortcut way to return an array sorted in C#

Question

... other than using: Array.Copy(originalArray, newArray) to make a copy of the original one and then using: return Array.Sort (newArray) to get the sorted array -- without changing the original array, of course?

Answer 1

Yes you can use LINQ, then convert back to an array:

For example:

return array.OrderBy(o => o.Col).ToArray();
