    <p>I'm trying to enhance my repository so it is the one responsible for ordering. I've applied the answer from <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3084671/linq-multiple-order-by">this question</a> and as far as the repository is concerned, I'm pretty sure it done.</p> <p>The problem I'm running into is that I'm not sure how to now pass an array to the methods in the repository. The compiler keeps yelling at me about delegates. In the linked question above, the author is essentially doing what I want so it must be possible.</p> <p>Here's my repository code:</p> <pre><code>public virtual IList&lt;TEntity&gt; SelectOrderedList( Expression&lt;Func&lt;TEntity, bool&gt;&gt;[] Orderers, bool Ascending = true) { IOrderedQueryable&lt;TEntity&gt; TemporaryQueryable = null; foreach (Expression&lt;Func&lt;TEntity, bool&gt;&gt; Orderer in Orderers) { if (TemporaryQueryable == null) { TemporaryQueryable = (Ascending ? this.ObjectSet.OrderBy(Orderer) : this.ObjectSet.OrderByDescending(Orderer)); } else { TemporaryQueryable = (Ascending ? TemporaryQueryable.ThenBy(Orderer) : TemporaryQueryable.ThenByDescending(Orderer)); }; }; return TemporaryQueryable.ToList(); } </code></pre> <p>On a side note, I'm not 100% sure that I'm supposed to use <code>Expression&lt;Func&lt;TEntity, bool&gt;&gt;</code>. For some reason I have a feeling that it's supposed to be <code>Expression&lt;Func&lt;TEntity, int&gt;&gt;</code>, but I'm not too sure.</p> <p>Anyway, I would really appreciate it if someone can show me how to actually call that. Bonus points and love if you can make it work like a <code>params</code> argument.</p>

    1. CORe the bool/int/etc - this is the type of the *member* being compared. So for a string property, it is string.

    2. CODon't pass around Exp<Func<T, U>>[], pass around instead IOrderer<T>[] (take the second Type parameter out of the problem) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/225481/how-to-check-for-the-presence-of-an-orderby-in-a-objectqueryt-expression-tree/225749#225749

    3. CO@David, although I like what you suggest I'm not sure how to implement it and your answer in the linked question doesn't really give me a solution that makes sense to me. At the end of the day I want to do something like: `SelectOrderedList(o1 => (o1.Something), o2 => (o2.SomethingElse))`. So I want to pass in multiple expressions to the method so they can perform OrderBy/ThenBy...

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
