Question

I have a generic collection of type MyImageClass, and MyImageClass has an boolean property ‘IsProfile’. I want to sort this generic list which IsProfile == true stands at the start of the list.

I have tried this.

rptBigImages.DataSource = estate.Images.OrderBy(est=>est.IsProfile).ToList(); 

with the code above the image stands at the last which IsProfile property is true. But i want it to be at the first index. I need something Asc or Desc. Then i did this.

rptBigImages.DataSource = estate.Images.OrderBy(est=>est.IsProfile).Reverse.ToList(); 

Is there any easier way to do this ?

Thanks

Answer 1

How about:

estate.Images.OrderByDescending(est => est.IsProfile).ToList() 

This will order the Images in descending order by the IsProfile Property and then create a new List from the result.
