Type Parameters
- T
The type of the objects in source, constrained to XNode.
Parameters
- source
- Type: System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<T>
An IEnumerable<T> of XNode that contains the source collection.

Usage Note
In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type IEnumerable<T>. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).The following example creates a collection of nodes that are not in document order, and then uses this axis to create a new collection where the nodes are in document order.
XElement xmlTree = new XElement("Root", new XElement("Item", new XElement("aaa", 1), new XElement("bbb", 2) ), new XElement("Item", new XElement("ccc", 3), new XElement("aaa", 4) ), new XElement("Item", new XElement("ddd", 5), new XElement("eee", 6) ) ); XElement[] elementList = { xmlTree.Descendants("ddd").First(), xmlTree.Descendants("ccc").First(), xmlTree.Descendants("aaa").First() }; IEnumerable<XElement> inDocOrder = elementList.InDocumentOrder(); foreach (XElement el in inDocOrder) Console.WriteLine(el);
This example produces the following output:
<aaa>1</aaa> <ccc>3</ccc> <ddd>5</ddd>
