Firstly this is my code:

        int[] a = { 3, 2, 0, 4, -5, 8, 7, 6 };
        Array.Sort(a);
        
        for(int i = 0; i < a.Length; i  )
        {
            Console.WriteLine(a[i]);
        }

Output:

-5
 0
 2
 3
 4
 6
 7
 8

My problem is that I want to sort all the numbers like the computer already does but except the -5. This is what I want the output to be:

 0
 2
 3
 4 
-5
 6
 7
 8

You can do something like this :

using System.Linq;

int[] sorted = new [] { 3, 2, 0, 4, -5, 8, 7, 6 }.OrderBy(Math.Abs).ToArray();
// now you can print "sorted" as array

it will order items by their absolute values, which is what you are looking for.

You can use code:

int[] a = { 3, 2, 0, 4, -5, 8, 7, 6 };
int[] result = a.OrderBy(a=> Math.Abs(a)).ToArray();

result: 0 , 2, 3, 4, -5, 6, 7, 8
