LINQ Dynamic OrderByDescending Examples
C# Dynamic LINQ OrderByDescending examples using an Expression Evaluator.
OrderByDescending - Simple 1
This C# example uses the LINQ OrderByDescending method with a dynamic expression to sort a list of doubles from highest to lowest.
LINQ
private void uiOrderByDescending_Simple_1_LINQ_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { double[] doubles = { 1.7, 2.3, 1.9, 4.1, 2.9 }; var sortedDoubles = doubles.OrderByDescending(d => d); var sb = new StringBuilder(); sb.AppendLine("The doubles from highest to lowest:"); foreach (var d in sortedDoubles) { sb.AppendLine(d.ToString()); } My.Result.Show(My.LinqResultType.Linq, uiResult, sb); }
LINQ Dynamic
private void uiOrderByDescending_Simple_1_LINQ_Dynamic_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { double[] doubles = { 1.7, 2.3, 1.9, 4.1, 2.9 }; var sortedDoubles = doubles.OrderByDescendingDynamic(d => "d"); var sb = new StringBuilder(); sb.AppendLine("The doubles from highest to lowest:"); foreach (var d in sortedDoubles) { sb.AppendLine(d.ToString()); } My.Result.Show(My.LinqResultType.LinqDynamic, uiResult, sb); }
LINQ Execute
private void uiOrderByDescending_Simple_1_LINQ_Execute_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { double[] doubles = { 1.7, 2.3, 1.9, 4.1, 2.9 }; var sortedDoubles = doubles.Execute<IEnumerable<double>>("OrderByDescending(d => d)"); var sb = new StringBuilder(); sb.AppendLine("The doubles from highest to lowest:"); foreach (var d in sortedDoubles) { sb.AppendLine(d.ToString()); } My.Result.Show(My.LinqResultType.LinqExecute, uiResult, sb); }
Result
The doubles from highest to lowest:
4.1
2.9
2.3
1.9
1.7
OrderByDescending - Simple 2
This C# example uses the LINQ OrderByDescending method with a dynamic expression to sort a list of products by units in stock from highest to lowest.
LINQ
private void uiOrderByDescending_Simple_2_LINQ_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { List<My.Product> products = My.GetProductList(); var sortedProducts = products.OrderByDescending(p => p.UnitsInStock); var sb = new StringBuilder(); My.ObjectDumper.Write(sb, sortedProducts); My.Result.Show(My.LinqResultType.Linq, uiResult, sb); }
LINQ Dynamic
private void uiOrderByDescending_Simple_2_LINQ_Dynamic_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { List<My.Product> products = My.GetProductList(); var sortedProducts = products.OrderByDescendingDynamic(p => "p.UnitsInStock"); var sb = new StringBuilder(); My.ObjectDumper.Write(sb, sortedProducts); My.Result.Show(My.LinqResultType.LinqDynamic, uiResult, sb); }
LINQ Execute
private void uiOrderByDescending_Simple_2_LINQ_Execute_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { List<My.Product> products = My.GetProductList(); var sortedProducts = products.Execute("OrderByDescending(p => p.UnitsInStock)"); var sb = new StringBuilder(); My.ObjectDumper.Write(sb, sortedProducts); My.Result.Show(My.LinqResultType.LinqExecute, uiResult, sb); }

OrderByDescending - Comparer
This C# example uses the LINQ OrderByDescending method with a dynamic expression and a custom comparer to do a case-insensitive descending sort of the words in an array.
LINQ
private void uiOrderByDescending_Comparer_LINQ_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { string[] words = { "aPPLE", "AbAcUs", "bRaNcH", "BlUeBeRrY", "ClOvEr", "cHeRry" }; var sortedWords = words.OrderByDescending(a => a, new CaseInsensitiveComparer()); var sb = new StringBuilder(); My.ObjectDumper.Write(sb, sortedWords); My.Result.Show(My.LinqResultType.Linq, uiResult, sb); }
LINQ Dynamic
private void uiOrderByDescending_Comparer_LINQ_Dynamic_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { string[] words = { "aPPLE", "AbAcUs", "bRaNcH", "BlUeBeRrY", "ClOvEr", "cHeRry" }; var sortedWords = words.OrderByDescendingDynamic(a => "a", new CaseInsensitiveComparer()); var sb = new StringBuilder(); My.ObjectDumper.Write(sb, sortedWords); My.Result.Show(My.LinqResultType.LinqDynamic, uiResult, sb); }
LINQ Execute
private void uiOrderByDescending_Comparer_LINQ_Execute_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { string[] words = { "aPPLE", "AbAcUs", "bRaNcH", "BlUeBeRrY", "ClOvEr", "cHeRry" }; EvalManager.DefaultContext.RegisterType(typeof(CaseInsensitiveComparer)); var sortedWords = words.Execute("OrderByDescending(a => a, new CaseInsensitiveComparer())"); var sb = new StringBuilder(); My.ObjectDumper.Write(sb, sortedWords); My.Result.Show(My.LinqResultType.LinqExecute, uiResult, sb); }
Result
ClOvEr
cHeRry
bRaNcH
BlUeBeRrY
aPPLE
AbAcUs
