Why when using a sort method on a list of objects do you need to have a Icomparable method in the corresponding class?

List<students> studentList = new List<Student>();
//add objects to list.
studentList.Sort();

When sorting an array for example this is not required?

Lists are more elegant than arrays. They can do stuff for you, instead arrays need you to do the stuff yourself. Use lists if you find them better.

list of object i think can be a strongly type and you the icomperable interface to determine which is lesser, if you understand why you have to overload operators this will make more sense
