Order by string compared to string list

Question

I'm attempting to order some data using a certain pattern and need some help figuring out how to do so. I haven't seen any examples of using linq queries within an orderby clause and am not exactly sure how to order the data in this scenario:

public IList<UserEventModel> GetListData(IDictionary<string, IList<string>> criteria, IEnumerable<UserEventModel> subscriptions) { subscriptions = subscriptions.OrderBy(x => x.EntityType); }

Looking for an extension to append to EntityType to compare against the contents of 'criteria' value pair here at key[2], e.g. x => x.EntityType.? (specified collection of values)

Duplicate of c# - Linq list sort based on another list?

your are almost right. Append tolist and try

 subscriptions = subscriptions .OrderBy(x => x.EntityType).ToList();
