.Net 6 Api 基于 columnName 类型和顺序 Asc Desc 的通用查询排序

Question

I'm trying to gain some experience with .net 6 apis and I have designed a simple app in which the user can sort the data based on a specific column like name or created.
But now I also want to sort based on a status that can be active or inactive (stored in DB stored as a bool).

So, I would like, if possible, to have a generic method to apply sorting also by including boolean conditions like:

query = query.OrderBy(u=> u.status==false/true)

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Answer 1

OrderBy already does that for you.
In case you want to order by false just write the following:

query = query.OrderBy(u => u.status)

This will bring the items with status false to the front, and move the ones with true to the end.

In case you want to do the opposite and bring the true -s to the front, use OrderByDescending

query = query.OrderByDescending(u => u.status)
