    Sort content in partial view

    Hi

    I have the following partial view:

    var cts = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.ContentTypeService;
    var masterDocTypeId = cts.GetContentType("Brand").Id;
    
    var cs = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.ContentService;
    var brands = cs.GetContentOfContentType(masterDocTypeId);
    

    ...

                        <p class="text-center">
                        @foreach (var brand in brands)
                        {
                            dynamic b = Umbraco.Content(brand.Id);
                            <p>@b.Name</p>
                        }
                        </p>
    

    How can I sort brands by a certain property?

    Thanks V.

    Hi Vlad,

    GetContentOfContentType returns IEnumerable of Content items, you don't need 'dynamic b = Umbraco.Content(brand.Id);'

    Try to sort like :

    var brands = ApplicationContext.Services.ContentService.GetContentOfContentType(contentTypeId).OrderBy(x => x.GetValue<T>("propertyAlias"));
    

    Thanks,

    Alex

    Vlad I would have a look at Object Relational Mappers like Glass It would stop you having to put magic strings in like 'Brand'. Also i would abstract this is to a helper class and call it. Also i would put some exception handling in

    But as Alex says for sure. Just do an OrderBy()

    Thanks, Charles, great suggestions. I think if we need just sort items on presentation layer, OrderBy is enough.
