how do I sort an array in C#?

Question

I have this code for displaying a list from an array:

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="5" border="0" class="listTable">
@foreach(var row in list){
    <tr>
        <td>@row[0]</td>
        <td>@row[1]</td>
        <td>@row[2]</td>
        <td>@row[3]</td>
    </tr>
}
</table>

What I want is to sort the array "list" by index 3 in an ascending order before showing the list.

I have searched for hours now, because I was sure this had been adressed before, but I found nothing. Could be that I am using wrong terms when searching, if so then please point me in the right direction.

SImply use Enumerable.OrderBy<T>()

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="5" border="0" class="listTable">
@foreach(var row in list.OrderBy(i=>i[3])){
    <tr>
        <td>@row[0]</td>
        <td>@row[1]</td>
        <td>@row[2]</td>
        <td>@row[3]</td>
    </tr>
}
</table>

Yes, this works perfectly. Well, almost - the third index is a number so it has to be like this: foreach(var row in list.OrderBy(i=>Convert.ToInt64(i[3]))){ otherwise it will make 100 come before 2 etc. I should have said the third index was numeric :P
