There's no point in chaining multiple ``++OrderBy++`` calls in a LINQ; only the last one will be reflected in the result because each subsequent call completely reorders the list. Thus, calling ``++OrderBy++`` multiple times is a performance issue as well, because all of the sorting will be executed, but only the result of the last sort will be kept. Instead, use ``++ThenBy++`` for each call after the first. == Noncompliant Code Example ---- var x = personList .OrderBy(person => person.Age) .OrderBy(person => person.Name) // Noncompliant .ToList(); // x is sorted by Name, not sub-sorted ---- == Compliant Solution ---- var x = personList .OrderBy(person => person.Age) .ThenBy(person => person.Name) .ToList(); ----
