LINQ2SQL: Cannot convert IQueryable<> to IOrderedQueryable error

I having this error in the searchString of my controller..

here is my codes:

if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(searchString))
{ 
    posts = posts.Where(post => post.Body == searchString);
}

I’m using this codes for my search in my Index.
Did I declare something wrong here or something? I already tried googling but didn’t find a clear answer. Thanks in advance for anyone who could help me..

Answer 1

The most likely cause is that you used an implicit var declaration for posts in a query that has an OrderBy. If you replace it with

IQueryable<Post> posts = someSource.Where(cond).OrderBy(/*the culprit*/);

the error should go away.
