Introduction

The following code shows how to use custom Comparer with OrderByDescending operator.

Demo

using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
class Program/*from w w  w .j a v a2  s  .c  om*/
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        string[] codeNames = { "Python", "Java", "Javascript", "Bash", "C++", "Oracle" };

        MyVowelToConsonantRatioComparer myComp = new MyVowelToConsonantRatioComparer();

        IEnumerable<string> namesByVToCRatio = codeNames
          .OrderByDescending((s => s), myComp);

        foreach (string item in namesByVToCRatio)
        {
            int vCount = 0;
            int cCount = 0;

            myComp.GetVowelConsonantCount(item, ref vCount, ref cCount);
            double dRatio = (double)vCount / (double)cCount;

            Console.WriteLine(item + " - " + dRatio + " - " + vCount + ":" + cCount);
        }
    }
}
public class MyVowelToConsonantRatioComparer : IComparer<string>
{
    public int Compare(string s1, string s2)
    {
        int vCount1 = 0;
        int cCount1 = 0;
        int vCount2 = 0;
        int cCount2 = 0;

        if (dRatio1 < dRatio2)
            return (-1);
        else if (dRatio1 > dRatio2)
            return (1);
        else
            return (0);
    }

    public void GetVowelConsonantCount(string s,

                                       ref int consonantCount)
    {

        string vowels = "AEIOU";
        vowelCount = 0;
        consonantCount = 0;
        string sUpper = s.ToUpper();

        foreach (char ch in sUpper)
        {
            if (vowels.IndexOf(ch) < 0)
                consonantCount++;
            else
                vowelCount++;
        }

        return;
