We have a generic List(Of Product) that must be sorted on two or more properties of the Product class.
The product class has the properties "Popular" numeric (asc), "Clicked" numeric (desc), "Name" string (asc). In order of naming the properties, we want the list to sort.
How can it be sort with a Lamba statement? If you have found to sort the list based on one property.
EDIT Just realized this was a VB question. Here is the VB.Net solution
Dim list = GetSomeList() Dim sorted = list. _ OrderBy(Function(x) x.Popular). _ ThenBy(Function(x) x.Clicked). _ ThenBy(Function(x) x.Name) C# version. Try the following
var list = GetSomeList(); var sorted = list.OrderBy(x => x.Popular).ThenBy(x => x.Clicked).ThenBy(x => x.Name); To answer your question about a lambda expression, that is too complex to put in a lambda expression, as VB doesn't support multi-line lambda expressions.
For a non-LINQ solution:
You need a named method as a comparer:
Private Function Comparer(ByVal x As Product, ByVal y As Product) As Integer Dim result As Integer = x.Popular.CompareTo(y.Popular) If result = 0 Then result = x.Clicked.CompareTo(y.Clicked) If result = 0 Then result = x.Name.CompareTo(y.Name) End If End If Return result End Function Usage:
theList.Sort(AddressOf Comparer) 
List<Product> sortedProducts = null; sortedProducts = products.OrderBy(p => p.Popular) .ThenByDescending(p => p.Clicked) .ThenBy(p => p.Name) .ToList(); I'm sorry but do you know any C#?
products.OrderBy(p => p.Popular). ThenByDescending(p => p.Clicked). ThenBy(p => p.Name); Can you get what you need from this?
A compound sort can also be done with the List.Sort lambda function. Here is a vb.Net example:
Dim Conts As List(of clsContact) Conts.Sort(Function(C1 As clsContact, C2 As clsContact) Dim CompRes As Integer = C1.Contact_LastName.CompareTo(C2.Contact_LastName) If CompRes = 0 Then CompRes = C1.Contact_FirstName.CompareTo(C2.Contact_FirstName) End If Return CompRes End Function)
