Question

I have the following that I’d like to sort:

IQueryable<Map> list;
list = from item in ctx.MAP
         .Include("C")
         .Include("L")
         .Include("L.DP")
       select item;
return list.OrderBy(m=>(m.L.DP.Name + m.L.Code));

This works, but it sorts alphabetically – so 12 comes before 9. (Assume Code is a numeric field)

What is the best way to sort this so Code is sorted numerically?

Answer 1

You probably want to use the ThenBy extension method to be able to sort by multiple fields 😉
In your case that would be

 return list.OrderBy(m=>m.L.DP.Name).ThenBy(m => m.L.Code);
