How to use orderby with 2 fields in linq? [duplicate]

MyList.OrderBy(x => x.StartDate).ThenByDescending(x => x.EndDate);

Use ThenByDescending:

var hold = MyList.OrderBy(x => x.StartDate)
                 .ThenByDescending(x => x.EndDate)
                 .ToList();

You can also use query syntax and say:

var hold = (from x in MyList
           orderby x.StartDate, x.EndDate descending
           select x).ToList();

ThenByDescending is an extension method on IOrderedEnumerable which is what is returned by OrderBy. See also the related method ThenBy.


If you have two or more field to order try this:

var soterdList = initialList.OrderBy(x => x.Priority).
                                    ThenBy(x => x.ArrivalDate).
                                    ThenBy(x => x.ShipDate);

You can add other fields with clasole "ThenBy"
