    <p>There are two lists.</p> <p>I have a list of students, made like this</p> <pre><code>List&lt;Student&gt; students = new List&lt;Student&gt;(); </code></pre> <p>The properties of each student object in the list are firstName, LastName, and Fees[]. </p> <p>Fees is an array that holds a set of fees for each student in the list.</p> <p>I made a second list like this: </p> <pre><code>List&lt;double&gt; totals = new List&lt;double&gt;(); </code></pre> <p>I loop through the list of students and add up the fees for each. Then I add the totals for each student to the <code>totals</code> list (My second list).</p> <p>Now I need to sort the <code>students</code> list so the highest total amount due in fees is at the beginning. In other words, I need to sort <code>students</code> using the highest value in <code>totals</code>. I can get the highest value out of <code>totals</code> like this:</p> <pre><code>double highestTotalAmountDue = totals.Max(); </code></pre> <p>How do I use this <code>highestTotalAmountDue</code> value to sort the <code>students</code> list so that the student with the highest fee total is at the beginning of the list??</p> <p>Just to clarify, I only need to add the student with the highest fee total at the top of the list. The rest can remain in the same order.</p> <p>Here is my code so far: </p> <pre><code>List&lt;double&gt; totals = new List&lt;double&gt;(); double tempTotal = 0; Lis&lt;Student&gt; students = new Lis&lt;Student&gt;(); // populate the students list foreach (var item in students) { for (var i = 0; i &lt; resultSet[0].Fees.Length; i++) { tempTotal += item.Fees[i].Amount; } totals.Add(tempTotal); tempTotal = 0; } double highestTotalAmountDue = totals.Max(); // now what to do to sort the students list by highestTotalAmountDue to put the student with the highest fee due at the top???? </code></pre> <p>Please help. Thanks in advance. </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
