orderby 句 (C# リファレンス)

[アーティクル]
02/21/2013

クエリ式では、orderby 句により、返されるシーケンスまたはサブシーケンス (グループ) が昇順または降順で並べ替えられます。1 つ以上の 2 次並べ替え操作を実行するために、複数のキーを指定できます。並べ替えは、要素の型の既定の比較子によって行われます。既定の並べ替え順序は昇順です。カスタム比較子を指定することもできます。ただし、カスタム比較演算子を使用できるのは、メソッドを基準にした構文を使用する場合のみです。詳細については、「データの並べ替え」を参照してください。

使用例

次の例では、最初のクエリは単語を A から始めてアルファベット順に並べ替え、2 番目のクエリは同じ単語を降順に並べ替えます (ascending キーワードは既定の並べ替え値であるため、省略できます)。

class OrderbySample1
{
    static void Main()
    {            
        // Create a delicious data source.
        string[] fruits = { "cherry", "apple", "blueberry" };

        // Query for ascending sort.
        IEnumerable<string> sortAscendingQuery =
            from fruit in fruits
            orderby fruit //"ascending" is default
            select fruit;

        // Query for descending sort.
        IEnumerable<string> sortDescendingQuery =
            from w in fruits
            orderby w descending
            select w;            

        // Execute the query.
        Console.WriteLine("Ascending:");
        foreach (string s in sortAscendingQuery)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(s);
        }

        // Execute the query.
        Console.WriteLine(Environment.NewLine + "Descending:");
        foreach (string s in sortDescendingQuery)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(s);
        }

        // Keep the console window open in debug mode.
        Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit.");
        Console.ReadKey();
    }
}
/* Output:
Ascending:
apple
blueberry
cherry

Descending:
cherry
blueberry
apple
*/

学生の姓で 1 番目の並べ替えを実行し、学生の名で 2 番目の並べ替えを実行する例を次に示します。

class OrderbySample2
{
    // The element type of the data source.
    public class Student
    {
        public string First { get; set; }
        public string Last { get; set; }
        public int ID { get; set; }
    }

    public static List<Student> GetStudents()
    {
        // Use a collection initializer to create the data source. Note that each element
        //  in the list contains an inner sequence of scores.
        List<Student> students = new List<Student>
        {
           new Student {First="Svetlana", Last="Omelchenko", ID=111},
           new Student {First="Claire", Last="O'Donnell", ID=112},
           new Student {First="Sven", Last="Mortensen", ID=113},
           new Student {First="Cesar", Last="Garcia", ID=114},
           new Student {First="Debra", Last="Garcia", ID=115} 
        };

        return students;

    }
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // Create the data source.
        List<Student> students = GetStudents();

        // Create the query.
        IEnumerable<Student> sortedStudents =
            from student in students
            orderby student.Last ascending, student.First ascending
            select student;

        // Execute the query.
        Console.WriteLine("sortedStudents:");
        foreach (Student student in sortedStudents)
            Console.WriteLine(student.Last + " " + student.First);           

        // Now create groups and sort the groups. The query first sorts the names
        // of all students so that they will be in alphabetical order after they are
        // grouped. The second orderby sorts the group keys in alpha order.            
        var sortedGroups =
            from student in students
            orderby student.Last, student.First
            group student by student.Last[0] into newGroup
            orderby newGroup.Key
            select newGroup;

        // Execute the query.
        Console.WriteLine(Environment.NewLine + "sortedGroups:");
        foreach (var studentGroup in sortedGroups)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(studentGroup.Key);
            foreach (var student in studentGroup)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("   {0}, {1}", student.Last, student.First);
            }
        }

        // Keep the console window open in debug mode
        Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit.");
        Console.ReadKey();
    }
}
/* Output:  
sortedStudents:
