Say I have 3 strings in a List (e.g. “1”,”2″,”3″).
Then I want to reorder them to place “2” in position 1 (e.g. “2”,”1″,”3″).
I am using this code (setting indexToMoveTo to 1):
listInstance.Remove(itemToMove);
listInstance.Insert(indexToMoveTo, itemToMove);
This seems to work, but I am occasionally getting strange results; sometimes the order is incorrect or items from the list are getting deleted!
Any ideas? Does List<T> guarantee order?
