Question

How to order result by nested table column like

FROM a IN Repository
FROM b IN a.Users
ORDERBY b.Name
SELECT a

But it does not work, i want to select all in ‘a’ table whitch is order by Name column in relation table ‘b’, how can I?
Thanks.

UPD: I’m very sorry. My fault is my thoughtlessness. Probably, i didn’t notice the post processing the list of elements from result where it ordered again. Thanks for all guys!

Not sure if this is the best way, but I would do this

var query = from ab in
              (from a in Repository
              select new
              {
                A = a,
                B = a.Users.OrderBy(u => u.Name).FirstOrDefault()
              })
            orderby ab.B.Name
            select ab.A;
