I can get it to work if I add a .ToString() like this:

@foreach (var mem in memberservice.GetAllMembers().OrderBy(x => x.GetValue("sortering").ToString()))

The problem now is that the number 10-19 gets displayd before number 2. I am guessing it's because it only looks at the first number?

Did you get an error when using it like this?

x.GetValue<int>("sortering")

Ahhh yes, that did it.

Thank you very much Jeavon :D

Brilliant!

I don't think it would help you with what you are doing here but are you also aware of the new MembershipHelper?

No, but now i am. Thank you very much :)

Using Umbraco 7.2.2, when I try to OrderBy I get the following error:

error CS1928: 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable' does not contain a definition for 'OrderBy' and the best extension method overload 'Umbraco.Web.PublishedContentExtensions.OrderBy(System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable, string)' has some invalid arguments

I have everything setup exactly as in the above example, except that I want to sort on a string field (company).  Can anyone help?

Hi Mike,

Could you post your code?
