LINQ系列：Linq to Object排序操作符

　　LINQ排序操作符包括：OrderBy、OrderByDescending、ThenBy、ThenByDescending及Reverse。

1. OrderBy

1>. 原型定义

public static IOrderedQueryable<TSource> OrderBy<TSource, TKey>(this IQueryable<TSource> source, Expression<Func<TSource, TKey>> keySelector);

public static IOrderedQueryable<TSource> OrderBy<TSource, TKey>(this IQueryable<TSource> source, Expression<Func<TSource, TKey>> keySelector, IComparer<TKey> comparer);

2>. 示例

var products = from p in context.Productsorderby p.ProductIDselect p;

IEnumerable<Product> products = context.Products.OrderBy(p => p.ProductID);

　　当扩展方法中有多个OrderBy操作符出现时，LINQ不会提示错误，将会以最后出现的OrderBy属性进行排序。

var products = context.Products.OrderBy(p => p.ProductID).OrderBy(p => p.ProductName);

　　上面的例子中将按照ProductName进行升序排序。

2. OrderByDescending

1>. 原型定义

public static IOrderedQueryable<TSource> OrderByDescending<TSource, TKey>(this IQueryable<TSource> source, Expression<Func<TSource, TKey>> keySelector);

public static IOrderedQueryable<TSource> OrderByDescending<TSource, TKey>(this IQueryable<TSource> source, Expression<Func<TSource, TKey>> keySelector, IComparer<TKey> comparer);

2>. 示例

var products = from p in context.Productsorderby p.ProductID descendingselect p;

var products = context.Products.OrderByDescending(p => p.ProductID);

3. ThenBy

　　在使用ThenBy操作符之前，扩展方法表达式中必须有OrderBy或OrderByDescending。ThenBy可以多次出现，排序字段累加。

1>. 原型定义

public static IOrderedQueryable<TSource> ThenBy<TSource, TKey>(this IOrderedQueryable<TSource> source, Expression<Func<TSource, TKey>> keySelector);

public static IOrderedQueryable<TSource> ThenBy<TSource, TKey>(this IOrderedQueryable<TSource> source, Expression<Func<TSource, TKey>> keySelector, IComparer<TKey> comparer);

2>. 示例

var products = from p in context.Productsorderby p.ProductID, p.ProductNameselect p;

var products = context.Products.OrderBy(p => p.ProductID).ThenBy(p => p.ProductName);

var products = context.Products.OrderBy(p => p.ProductID).ThenBy(p => p.ProductName).ThenBy(p => p.UnitPrice);

4. ThenByDescending

1>. 原型定义

public static IOrderedQueryable<TSource> ThenByDescending<TSource, TKey>(this IOrderedQueryable<TSource> source, Expression<Func<TSource, TKey>> keySelector);

public static IOrderedQueryable<TSource> ThenByDescending<TSource, TKey>(this IOrderedQueryable<TSource> source, Expression<Func<TSource, TKey>> keySelector, IComparer<TKey> comparer);

2>. 示例

var products = from p in context.Productsorderby p.ProductID, p.ProductName descendingselect p;

var products = context.Products.OrderBy(p => p.ProductID).ThenByDescending(p => p.ProductName).Select(p => p);

5. Reverse

1>.原型定义

public static IEnumerable<TSource> Reverse<TSource>(this IEnumerable<TSource> source);

2>. 示例

string[] weekdays = new string[] { "Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday" };
var expr = from weekday in weekdaysselect weekday;foreach (var item in expr.Reverse())
{Console.WriteLine(item);
}
