    <p>I am reading through a book and it gives an example of the Sort Method along with a Lambda query.</p> <p>An example is <code>{Product.Sort( (x,y) =&gt; x.Name.CompareTo(y.Name) );</code></p> <p>This really took me a while to understand as I did not understand how <code>.Sort</code> was dealing with the two inputs on the lambda.</p> <p>I tried clicking on <code>Sort</code> and pressing <code>F1</code> for help, but, it didn't give anything, <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/query/dev10.query?appId=Dev10IDEF1&amp;l=EN-US&amp;k=k%28%22SYSTEM.COLLECTIONS.GENERIC.LIST%601.SORT%22%29;k%28TargetFrameworkMoniker-%22.NETFRAMEWORK,VERSION=V4.0%22%29;k%28DevLang-CSHARP%29&amp;rd=true" rel="nofollow noreferrer">that made any sense to me</a>.</p> <p>Perhaps I am just not good enough to understand those examples, but, I just could not work out how this was working until I changed the Lambda to <code>x,y,z</code> which gave the error <code>Error Delegate 'System.Comparison&lt;ConsoleApplication1.Product&gt;' does not take 3 arguments</code></p> <p>Which made a lot more sense to me... Anyway, after a while of looking around, I am confident that I understand the Sort method, but, it took me a lot longer than I am happy with.</p> <p>From people who are much better than me - given a situation like this, how would you search for help?</p> <p>By typing <kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>Space</kbd>I was also able to produce the following:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/SBZco.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>However, I am just wondering, as a C# learner, how can I attribute this to requiring a Lambda with two inputs?</p>

    1. COLook up List<T>.Sort on Google and then Google it's arguments if you don't understand. That's the way most dev's work these days

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.
