AlphaNumericComparer

AlphaNumericComparer.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase compares text and numbers as separate groups, case is ignored.

String[] strings = { "a100", "B1", "a5", "A1" };
Array.Sort(strings, AlphaNumericComparer.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase); // A1, a5, a100, B1

AlphaNumericComparer.InvariantCulture compares text and numbers as separate groups.

String[] strings = { "a100", "B1", "a5", "A1" };
Array.Sort(strings, AlphaNumericComparer.InvariantCulture); // a5, a100, A1, B1

AlphaNumericComparer.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase compares text and numbers as separate groups, case is ignored.

String[] strings = { "a100", "B1", "a5", "A1" };
Array.Sort(strings, AlphaNumericComparer.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase); // a5, a100, A1, B1

AlphaNumericComparer.CurrentCulture compares text and numbers as separate groups.

String[] strings = { "a100", "B1", "a5", "A1" };
Array.Sort(strings, AlphaNumericComparer.CurrentCulture); // a5, a100, A1, B1

AlphaNumericComparer.CurrentUICultureIgnoreCase compares text and numbers as separate groups, case is ignored.

String[] strings = { "a100", "B1", "a5", "A1" };
Array.Sort(strings, AlphaNumericComparer.CurrentUICultureIgnoreCase); // a5, a100, A1, B1

AlphaNumericComparer.CurrentUICulture compares text and numbers as separate groups.

String[] strings = { "a100", "B1", "a5", "A1" };
Array.Sort(strings, AlphaNumericComparer.CurrentUICulture); // a5, a100, A1, B1
