C# Using IComparer to sort alphanumeric list

Question

I recently stumbled upon IComparer and I think it can help me sort my alphanumeric string list. // "STATE-ShipSpeed-0001"

List<string> myList = new List<string>{
"TX-S3-1005",
"CA-S3-1205",
"NV-S2-1001",
"LA-S5-1015",
"VA-S1-1305",
};

From what I've read IComparer should be able to sort the list above in order, but I have absolutely no idea where to being. Could someone assist or help me?

How about you start with the MSDN documentation for `IComparer`, and look at the example given there? — Luc Morin, Apr 18 '16 at 19:37

See code below:

List<string> myList = new List<string>{
"TX-S3-1005",
"CA-S3-1205",
"NV-S2-1001",
"LA-S5-1015",
"VA-S1-1305",
};

sortedList = myList.OrderBy(s => s).ToList();
