collections

I have a collection of objects and I know that I can sort by NAME (string type) by saying

collEquipment.Sort((x, y) => string.Compare(x.ItemName, y.ItemName));

that WORKS.

But I want to sort by a ID (integer type) and there is no such thing as Int32.Compare

So how do I do this? This doesnt work

collEquipment.Sort((x, y) => (x.ID < y.ID); //error

I know the answer is going to be really simple. Lambda expressions confuse me.
