Question

I’ve got the following code to extract keywords from a string:

var results = text.Split(new char[]{' ',',','.','!','?','_',':',';','/','(',')','\n','\r','-','*','"','/','\\','$','%','+','-','='})               // default split by whitespace
    .GroupBy(str => str)  // group words by the value
    .Select(g => new
                 {
                     str = g.Key,      // the value
                     count = g.Count() // the count of that value
                 });

Now I need to add OrderByDescending to it, but not sure where to place it.
.GroupBy(str => str).OrderByDescending(count => count) yielded incorrect results. How to make it right?

Answer 1

You can add it after the select.

.Select(...whatever...).OrderByDescending(item => item.count);
