Provided that you can use LINQ

progress = progress.OrderBy(b => b.Name).ToList();

Implement Icomparable interface and ur done

public class ProgressBars : IComparable

{

    public ProgressBars()
    { }
    private Int32 _ID;
    private string _Name;
    public virtual Int32 ID { get { return _ID; } set { _ID = value; } }
    public virtual string Name { get { return _Name; } set { _Name = value; } }

    public int CompareTo(ProgressBars obj)
    {
        return _Name.CompareTo(obj.Name);
    }        
}
