Inconsistency Between List<> and LinkedList<>


I'm airing frustration here, but why does LinkedList<not support the
same sort and search methods as List<>? I want a container that does not
support random access, allows forward and reverse traversal and
natively supports sorting, i.e., STL's list<T>. There isn't even a set of
algorithms that would allow me to easily sort a generic collection.
System.Array has a robust set of static algorithms, why not extend this to
ICollection?
