Question

I have a Linq query which returns an ordered list. It works, but when sorting boolean values it always puts the false items first.

return from workers in db.Workers
               orderby workers.active, workers.naam 
               select workers;

Is there a way to order the true items first?

Answer 1

Use the order by descending option and it will reverse the list. See MSDN Soring Data for more examples on sorting.

return from workers in db.Workers
           orderby workers.active descending, workers.naam 
           select workers;
