Join Olivia Chiu Stone for an in-depth discussion in this video Rearrange data with the orderby operator, part of LINQ with C# Essential Training.
- In general, LINQ Queries tried to preserve…the original order of the sequence.…However, there are often times when it can be…extremely useful to reorder the sequence…based on a different criteria.…LINQ can do that by using an ordering operator.…The Orderby operator allows you to order the elements…in the sequence by a specific key.…You can think of how you can organize data in Excel…and rearrange the order based on a specific column.…I want to write a query to order the customers…based on the state that they live in…to help group those that live in the place together.…
I call this query "orderbyStateQuery"…To use the Orderby operator in my query,…I need to specify the property to base the order on.…In this case, the value of the state property…and the customer class.…The query expression ends with a select clause…that returns all the reordered customer elements.…Now that I've created the query,…I'll set up before each statement to execute it.…For every element that is in the resulting sequence…from the orderbyStateQuery,…

11/30/2015In LINQ with C# Essential Training, engineer Olivia Chiu introduces techniques for querying, updating, and transforming data with LINQ. She covers standard queries—such as finding overlaps in two datasets and creating hierarchies—as well as complex chained queries. She also shows how to group and join LINQ queries with lambda expressions, and use LINQ to query SQL databases and XML documents. Last but not least, Olivia provides tips for optimizing the performance of your queries.
