Question : How to orderby an attribute of a List

[mhosman]

I have for example a class User with a list of UserTypes. In the class userType I have an attribute type:string. Now I want to order all Users by UserTypes.Type asc. How can I do this writing a query in string using System.Linq.Dynamic.Core? I'm able to search results using Any but I cant order results.

Not 100% the same as you ask, but this example gives some hints:

Hey @StefH thanks for your reply. You mean to order using a Select ???

[StefH]

No, ignore the Select(...) , that's just an example.

The statement is Roles.OrderBy(Name), and the example code would be like:

var expected = qry.SelectMany(x => x.Roles.OrderBy(y => y.Name));
var orderById = qry.SelectMany("Roles.OrderBy(Name)"));
