Accepted answer
Icomparer and icomparable both helps to implement custom sorting logic,

icomparable: one sorting logic inside collection(one default way of sorting), inside same class CompareTo

Icomparer: logic goes outside collection, Multiple sorting logic Compare

The object to be sorted will implement IComparable while the class that is going to sort the objects will implement IComparer.If the objects you're trying to sort do not implement IComparable, you'll need to create a class that implements IComparer (and accepts those object types for comparison) and pass it to the Array.Sort() method.
