Today’s generic lists support sorting calls that can be modified to sort ascending or descending. How about a sort method that will just mangle the data. It may have uses for your TDD (UnitTest) related work.

Here we go:

void Unsort()
{
    Random rnd = new Random();
    List<int> myList = new List<int>();
    for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
    {
        myList.Add(i);
    }
     myList.Sort(
        delegate(int a, int b)
        {
            if (a != b)
                return rnd.Next(-1, 2);
            return 0;
        });
}

Now your list is unsorted.
