Sorting part of a collection

[mick]

Given we have a collection of something (say ints) 1,2,3,4,5,7,9,6,8

is it possible to sort the last 4 ints of the collection without changing the
order of the first 5?

Something along the lines of collection.SkipTheFirst5Items.SortTheLast4.

Using Linq if possible.

lst2.Sort(lst2.Count - 4, 4, null);

seems easier than:

List<int> first = lst3.Take(lst3.Count - 4).ToList();
List<int> last = lst3.Skip(lst3.Count - 4).ToList();
last.Sort();
lst3 = first.Concat(last).ToList();

lst2.Sort(lst2.Count - 4, 4, null);
