Code inspection: String ordering is culture-sensitive

This inspection reports string ordering that relies on the default comparer. The resulting order depends on the current culture and on the globalization settings of the runtime. To make the order predictable, pass an explicit StringComparer.

Example

names.Sort();

names.Sort(StringComparer.Ordinal);

Use the same approach for LINQ ordering:

var ordered = names.OrderBy(name => name, StringComparer.Ordinal);
