Sort enums in declaration order

Manoj Bhatt 2265 14 Aug 2014

public enum CurrencyId
{
    USD = 840,
    UAH = 980,
    RUR = 643,
    EUR = 978,
    KZT = 398,
    UNSUPPORTED = 0
}

Is there any way to sort results of Enum.GetValues(typeof(CurrencyId)).Cast<CurrencyId>() by order they are declared in .cs file (USD, UAH, RUR, EUR, KZT, UNSUPPORTED), not by their underlying code? Personally, I believe the answer is 'no', because original order is lost in binaries, so... how can I implement the task?

Hi Manoj,

try this:

using System;
using System.Reflection;
public class Test
{
    public enum CurrencyId {
        USD = 840,
        UAH = 980,
        RUR = 643,
        EUR = 978,
        KZT = 398,
        UNSUPPORTED =0
    }
    public static void Main()
    {
       
foreach(FieldInfo fi in typeof(CurrencyId).GetFields())
           
if(fi.IsStatic) Console.WriteLine(fi.Name);
    }
}

Output:

USD

UAH

RUR

EUR

KZT
