IOrderedQueryable Interface
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Represents the result of a sorting operation.
Assembly: System.Core (in System.Core.dll)
The IOrderedQueryable type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | ElementType | Gets the type of the element(s) that are returned when the expression tree associated with this instance of IQueryable is executed. (Inherited from IQueryable.) |
| Expression | Gets the expression tree that is associated with the instance of IQueryable. (Inherited from IQueryable.) |
| Provider | Gets the query provider that is associated with this data source. (Inherited from IQueryable.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | GetEnumerator | Returns an enumerator that iterates through a collection. (Inherited from IEnumerable.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | AsQueryable | Converts an IEnumerable to an IQueryable. (Defined by Queryable.) |
| Cast<TResult>() | Overloaded. Converts the elements of an IQueryable to the specified type. (Defined by Queryable.) |
| Cast<TResult>() | Overloaded. Converts the elements of an IEnumerable to the specified type. (Defined by Enumerable.) |
| OfType<TResult>() | Overloaded. Filters the elements of an IQueryable based on a specified type. (Defined by Queryable.) |
| OfType<TResult>() | Overloaded. Filters the elements of an IEnumerable based on a specified type. (Defined by Enumerable.) |
The IOrderedQueryable interface is intended for implementation by query providers.
This interface represents the result of a sorting query that calls the method(s) OrderBy, OrderByDescending, ThenBy or ThenByDescending. When CreateQuery is called and passed an expression tree that represents a sorting query, the resulting IQueryable object must be of a type that implements IOrderedQueryable.
