    TaskUtils.Apply(project.RootTask, collector, 0);
    List<Task> tasks = collector.Tasks;

    tasks.Sort(new TaskNameComparer());

    foreach (var task in tasks)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(task.ToString());
    }
}

private class TaskNameComparer : IComparer<Task>
{
    public int Compare(Task x, Task y)
    {
        if (x == null && y == null)
        {
            return 0;
        }

        if (x == null)
        {
            return -1;
        }

        if (y == null)
        {
            return 1;
        }

        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(x.Get(Tsk.Name)))
        {
            return 1;
        }

        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(y.Get(Tsk.Name)))
        {
            return -1;
        }

        return string.Compare(x.Get(Tsk.Name), y.Get(Tsk.Name), StringComparison.Ordinal);
    }
