    OrderBy datepicker property not working as expected

    Using Umbraco 7

    I have the following code:

    var selection= CurrentPage.Parent.Events.Where("Visible==true && EventType == \"" + eventType + "\"").OrderBy("StartDate descending")

    The problem is, the OrderBy seems to be treating StartDate as a string instead of a date - for example, March dates show up before May dates despite the "descending". Any tricks to make the OrderBy treat a datepicker value as a date?

    Hi Andrew,

    Should be like this:

    .OrderBy("StartDate desc")

    Hope that fixes it for you?

    You could also improve your .Where slightly, e.g.

    var selection = CurrentPage.Parent.Events.Where("Visible && EventType == @0", eventType).OrderBy("StartDate desc");

    Oh, good Lord, how embarrassing.

    And thanks for the syntax improvement; I didn't know you could parameterize that way!

    No worries, with dynamics you have no idea what the problem is :-)

    Hmmm, this is odd. I'm running into the same issue again in a different partial view, where the sort order appears to be treating the datepicker property as a string. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    If the data property you are ordering by is of data picker, then it should be ok. Could you post your new code snippet?
