Explanation:

In the above program, we created a class Demo that contains the Main() method. In the Main() method we created a list that contains unordered string names.

var result = list.OrderBy(name=>name);

The above method call will return the sorted list in the ascending order.

Console.WriteLine("Names in sorted order:");
foreach (string name in result)
{
    Console.Write(name + " ");
}
Console.WriteLine();

In the above code, we accessed each name one by one and print it on the console screen.
