ThenBy

Performs a subsequent ordering of the elements in a sequence in ascending order by using a specified comparer.

Syntax

ThenBy([keySelector[, comparer]])

Parameters

keySelector

A function to extract a key from each element: TKey keySelector(TSource)

comparer

A function to compare keys: Boolean comparer(first, second)

Return Value

An ordered Iterable whose elements are sorted according to a key.

Remarks

This method is implemented by using deferred execution. The immediate return value is an object that stores all the information that is required to perform the action. The query represented by this method is not executed until the object is enumerated.

The design enables you to specify multiple sort criteria by applying any number of ThenBy or ThenByDescending methods.
