I am trying to order them so that the lowest double is first.

I tried doublePriceList.Sort() but this did not work.

How can I do this?

It should work, you need to show some of your code how and where you sort the list and where you display it. – Tajuanatak

When you say that something doesn't work, describe the way in which it doesn't work. Ideally, produce a short but complete program which demonstrates the problem. – Hue

Note that it is advisable to use decimal for prices. This due to rounding differences. – Djakarta

Answer 1

using System.Linq;

and

var sortedList = doublePriceList.OrderBy(d => d);

Answer 2

Sort (as per docs) works perfectly, although it isn't returning anything (isn't chainable):

var ds = new List<double>{
    2399.17,
    1199.17,
    // ...
};

ds.Sort();

foreach (double d in ds)
    Console.WriteLine(d);

Answer 3

Try this if you want to print them out

foreach( double d in doublePriceList.OrderBy( d => d ) )
{
  //print d
}
