Ordering Methods (LINQ to Entities)

Most of the LINQ ordering methods are supported in LINQ to Entities, with the exception of those that accept an IComparer, because the comparer cannot be translated to the data source. For more information, see Standard Query Operators in LINQ to Entities Queries. The following table lists the supported and unsupported ordering methods.
