What is the criteria behind this sort? It neither seems to be numerical nor alphabetical.

It is not alphanumerical. I want to sort it according the number of keyword in a phrase i.e. "house money money" has 3 keywords, "Is money important to us" has 5 keywords and so on.

Solution 2

Using linq, it's a simple one liner:

C#

var results = vals.OrderBy(x => x.Split(' ').Count());

Given that vals is your string array, i.e.

C

var vals = new string[]
{
    "house money money",
    "money",
    "money house",
    "house",
    "Is money important to us",
};

You would need to implement a custom IComparer[^]
