Choose output order with OrderBy

“

- [Instructor] Sorting the query results is another popular action. In the LINQ world, that is done with the orderby keyword, or the orderby extension method. Here I am sorting by this Parsed catalog value. The syntax is orderby, and then the value you want to sort on. So you can see that it's going from lowest to highest on the catalog price. Of course, I can sort on other criteria. Let's take bidParsed, and orderby on that one. Now we're going from lowest to highest on the bid price. There's also the descending keyword. I put that here, and it'll reverse this order like that.
