C# orderby子句

注意：对联接运算的结果进行排序。 请注意，排序在联接之后执行。 虽然可以在联接之前将 orderby 子句用于一个或多个源序列，不过通常不建议这样做。 某些 LINQ 提供程序可能不会在联接之后保留该排序。

在查询表达式中，orderby 子句可导致返回的序列或子序列（组）以升序或降序排序。 若要执行一个或多个次级排序操作，可以指定多个键。 元素类型的默认比较器执行排序。 默认排序顺序为升序。 

以下示例对学生的姓氏进行主要排序，然后对其名字进行次要排序。

class OrderbySample2

    // The element type of the data source.
    public class Student
    {
        public string First { get; set; }
        public string Last { get; set; }
        public int ID { get; set; }
    }

    public static List<Student> GetStudents()
    {
        // Use a collection initializer to create the data source. Note that each element
        //  in the list contains an inner sequence of scores.
        List<Student> students = new List<Student>
        {
           new Student {First="Svetlana", Last="Omelchenko", ID=111},
           new Student {First="Claire", Last="O'Donnell", ID=112},
           new Student {First="Sven", Last="Mortensen", ID=113},
           new Student {First="Cesar", Last="Garcia", ID=114},
           new Student {First="Debra", Last="Garcia", ID=115} 
        };

        return students;

    }

        // Now create groups and sort the groups. The query first sorts the names
        // of all students so that they will be in alphabetical order after they are
        // grouped. The second orderby sorts the group keys in alpha order.            
        var sortedGroups =
            from student in students
            orderby student.Last, student.First

            orderby newGroup.Key

        Console.WriteLine(Environment.NewLine + "sortedGroups:");

            }
        }

        Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit.");
        Console.ReadKey();
