using system; using system.collections.generic; using system.linq; using system.text;  namespace student_array {     class program     {         struct student         {             public string name;         }          static void main(string[] args)         {             int numberofstudents;             student[] names;             string input;              console.writeline("how many students there?");             input = console.readline();             numberofstudents = int.parse(input);              names = new student[numberofstudents];               (int = 0; < names.length; i++)             {                 student s;                 console.writeline("please enter student {0}'s name", (i + 1));                 s.name = console.readline();                 names[i] = s;             }             ***array.sort<student>(names);***             (int = 0; < names.length; i++)             {                  console.writeline(names[i].name);             }         }     } } 

this shall trick

array.sort(names, (x,y) => string.compare(x.name, y.name));
