Question

I have the following LINQ query –

var data = (from req in db.tblRequirements
       where req.guidRequirementId == guidRequirementId
             && (!db.ViewMIPRAlls.Any(x=>x.guidRequirementId == req.guidRequirementId))
       select new
       {
           guidRequirementId = req.guidRequirementId,
           strStatus = req.tblCodesRequirementStatus.strDescription,
           strNumber = req.ViewNumber.strAwardNumber,
           strOffice = req.tblOrganization.strAcronym,
           strCustomerOffice = req.tblOrganizationCustomer.strAcronym,
           strDescription = req.strDescription,
           strNotes = req.strNotes,
           strStatusId = req.strStatusId,
           strCompany = req.strCompany,
           strUpdatedBy = Person.GetPersonNameFromUserID(req.guidUserId),
           dtmUpdated = Requirement.UpdateTime(req.guidRequirementId),
           dtmEsitmatedEnd = (req.tblDates.Select(x=>x.dtmEnd) != null
              ? req.tblDates.Select(x=>x.dtmEnd.ToShortDateString()).ToString()
              : ""
           )
       }).OrderBy(x=>x.dtmEnd);

and I am unable to order it by date. This query results in the following error:

Could not format node ‘ClientQuery’ for execution as SQL.

Either Orderby Before the select, or Orderby by something you’ve created in the select
