Today, I was required to order a list of records based on a Name and then ID. A simple one, but I did spend some time on how to do it with Lambda Expression in C#. C# provides the OrderBy, OrderByDescending, ThenBy, ThenByDescending. You can use them in your lambda expression to order the records as per your requirement.

Assuming your list is “Phones” and contains the following data

public class Phone
{
       public int ID { get; set; }
       public string Name { get; set; }
}

public class Phones : List
{
        public Phones()
        {
            Add(new Phone { ID = 1, Name = "Windows Phone 7" });
            Add(new Phone { ID = 5, Name = "iPhone" });
            Add(new Phone { ID = 2, Name = "Windows Phone 7" });
            Add(new Phone { ID = 3, Name = "Windows Mobile 6.1" });
            Add(new Phone { ID = 6, Name = "Android" });
            Add(new Phone { ID = 10, Name = "BlackBerry" });
        }
}

If you were to use LINQ Query , the query will look like the one below

dataGridView1.DataSource = (from m in new Phones()
                                       orderby m.Name, m.ID
                                       select m).ToList();

Simple isn’t it ? It very simple using Lamba expression too. Your Lambda’s expression for the above LINQ query will look like the one below

dataGridView1.DataSource = new Phones().OrderByDescending(a => a.Name).ThenByDescending(a => a.ID).ToList();
