    sorting multiple datetime fields when 1 could be empty (null)

    Razor

    Hi you all,

    I'm a beginning Umbraco developer and have the following question.

    I've created a news-section in my website. Nothing new and working fine. Except now I wanna sort the news items by date. One problem is that the sorting dates are spread over multiple columns. I've create a news date which isn't mandatory. When the newsdate column is empty the created date is used.

    how do I sort my newsItems using both of these column

    Example

    newsitem1: newsdate = 3 aug 2012, createDate = 7 aug 2012

    newsitem2: newsdate = emtpy, create date = 7 aug 2012

    newsitem3: newsdate = 25 jul 2012, createDate 7 aug

    Result (sorting order):

    newsitem2, newsitem1, newsitem3

    something like:
     
    var nodes = @model.......OrderDesc(t=>t.newsdate.HasValue ? t.newsdate : t.createDate);
