    Sort by news 'sticky' and by 'Date Desc' expression

    Using Umbraco And Getting Started
    Umbraco 7

    Newbie Alert :D

    I have a checkbox in my 'News Article' page with an Alias of 'sticky'. How can I sort by this being checked, and by date descending, So sticky posts are set the top of the list, ordered by date?

    The below does sort by Date but does not take into account if a post has the 'sticky' checkbox set to true. Do I need to do something else in my expression?

    var newsChildPages = Model.Content.Children.Where(x => x.DocumentTypeAlias == "newsArticle").OrderBy(a => a.GetPropertyValue<bool>("sticky")).ThenByDescending(x => x.GetPropertyValue<DateTime>("newsArticleDate"));

    Thanks

    -David

    Hi David

    Try this code:

    var newsChildPages = Model.Content.Children.Where(x => x.DocumentTypeAlias == "newsArticle")
        .OrderBy(a => a.GetPropertyValue<bool>("sticky") ? 1 : 0)
        .ThenByDescending(x => x.GetPropertyValue<DateTime>("newsArticleDate"));

    This line should do the trick:

    .OrderBy(a => a.GetPropertyValue<bool>("sticky") ? 1 : 0)
