A little boilerplate hasn't killed anyone. If you're talking about "100s of different Enterprise Business Objects (TM) structs", something is probably off in the overall program design and/or code-gen should probably be introduced regardless of the 'sort' (and related typically-generics use-cases) question, as that sounds like something to be largely derived from pre-existing schemas of some sort..

It's annoying, especially since basic generics are simpler than interfaces.

I don't write enterprise software. I sometimes need to sort things.
