Comparison<T> and IComparable<T> vs LINQ

Sorting Before LINQ:

• Implement IComparable<T> so you can use the default sort.
• Add a few Comparision<T> delegates so I could sort other ways

public class DrawDown : IComparable<T> : IComparable<T>
{
public static Comparison<DrawDown> DateComparison = delegate(DrawDown field1, DrawDown field2) { }
public static Comparison<DrawDown> ValueComparison = delegate(DrawDown field1, DrawDown field2) { }
public int CompareTo(DrawDown other) {}
} 

And sort like this:

var list = new List<DrawDown>();
list.Sort();
//or 
list.Sort(DrawDown.DateComparison); 

Sorting with LINQ:

var list = new List<DrawDown>();
list.OrderBy(d=>d.Date);
//or
list.OrderBy(d=>d.Value);

Basically, I use LINQ more then anything else in the .NET framework.  It really does save hours of writing boring “sort” code.
