In this article, we will learn How to Sort multiple Columns using LINQ in C# using Order by , ThenBy, OrderbyDescending, and ThenbyDescending methods.

Here’s an example of how to Sort multiple Columns using LINQ in C#.

Create an Asp.NET Core MVC or Web API Project

Assuming you have Visual Studio 2019 or Visual Studio 2022 installed, follow these steps to create a new ASP.NET Core Project

  • Open the visual studio (IDE).
  • Click on the “Create new project” option.
  • Choose “ASP.NET Core Web Application” from the list of available templates.
  • Click the Next button.
  • The configure a new project, specify the name and location of your project.
  • Click the “Next” button.
  • Then select .Net Core as the runtime and choose the version from the dropdown list at the top.
  • Make sure to uncheck the checkboxes for “Enable Docker Support” and “Configure for HTTPS” since we won’t be using authentication.
  • Click the “Create” button

Consider an example Employee class with properties like FirstName, LastName, City, and State. We’ll sort employees based on their FirstName and LastName.

Create a Model

namespace WEB_API_without_EF.Models
{
    public class Employees
    {
        public int ID { get; set; }
        public string Company { get; set; }
        public string FirstName { get; set; }
        public string LastName { get; set; }
        public string Email { get; set; }
        public string JobTitle { get; set; }
        public string Address { get; set;}

        public string City { get; set; }

        public string state { get; set; }

    }
}

Create a Controller

namespace WEB_API_without_EF.Controllers
{
    [Route("api/[controller]")]
    [ApiController]
    public class EmployeeController : ControllerBase
    { 
[HttpGet("GetOrderBy")]
        public IActionResult GetOrderBy()
        {
            List<Employees> employees = new List<Employees>
            {
                new Employees{FirstName="Anna", LastName="Bedecs", Company="Company A", City="Seattle",state="WA"},
                new Employees{FirstName="Antonio", LastName="Gratacos Solsona", Company="Company B", City="Boston",state="MA"},
                new Employees{FirstName="Thomas" ,LastName="Axen", Company="Company C", City="Seattle",state="WA"},
                new Employees{FirstName="Christina", LastName="Lee", Company="Company D", City="New York",state="NY"},
                new Employees{FirstName="Martin" ,LastName="O’Donnell", Company="Company E", City="Minneapolis",state="MN"},
                new Employees{FirstName="Francisco", LastName="Pérez-Olaeta", Company="Company F", City="Milwaukee",state="WI"},

            };

            //Order by Ascending Order

            var OrderbyEmployeeAsc = employees.
                        OrderBy(x => x.FirstName)
                        .ThenBy(x => x.LastName)
                        .ToList();
            // Descending Order

            var OrderbyEmployeeDesc = employees.
                        OrderBy(x => x.LastName)
                        .ThenByDescending(x => x.FirstName)
                        .ToList();

            

            return Ok(OrderbyEmployeeAsc);
        }
}
}

 Always utilize ThenBy() after OrderBy() because OrderBy() generates an IOrderedEnumerable object which then exposes the methods ThenBy() and ThenByDescending(). This means that we can order by multiple columns.
