CSharp - Use ThenBy operator with custom Comparer

Introduction

The following example uses ThenBy operator with custom Comparer.

This example call OrderBy and order by the number of characters in the name.

The names will be ordered ascending by the number of characters, and then within each grouping of names by length, they will be ordered by their vowel to consonant ratio.

The names are first ordered by their length, then by their vowel to consonant ratio.
