    var project = new Project(DataDir + "Project2.mpp");
    SaveOptions options = new PdfSaveOptions

        Timescale = Timescale.Months,
        TasksComparer = new TasksNameComparer()
    };
    project.Save(OutDir + "SortedByNames_out.pdf", options);

    options.TasksComparer = new TasksDurationComparer();
    project.Save(OutDir + "SortedByDurations_out.pdf", options);
}

        }

        return y == null ? 1 : string.Compare(x.Get(Tsk.Name), y.Get(Tsk.Name), StringComparison.Ordinal);
    }
