如何：对数据进行排序（实体框架）

本主题介绍如何对查询结果进行排序。 本示例返回 Contact 对象的集合，其结果按 Contact.LastName 首字母的字母顺序排序。 下面使用以下实体框架 查询技术演示同一示例：

• LINQ to Entities

• Entity SQL 以及 ObjectQuery<T>

• ObjectQuery<T> 的查询生成器方法

本主题中的示例基于 Adventure Works 销售模型。若要运行本主题中的代码，则必须已经将 Adventure Works 销售模型添加到了您的项目中，并且已经将项目配置为使用实体框架。有关更多信息，请参见如何：使用实体数据模型向导（实体框架）或如何：手动配置实体框架项目和如何：手动定义实体数据模型（实体框架）。

示例

以下是 LINQ to Entities 示例。

Using context As New AdventureWorksEntities()
    ' Define a query that returns a list 
    ' of Contact objects sorted by last name. 
    Dim sortedNames = From n In context.Contacts _
        Order By n.LastName _
        Select n

    Console.WriteLine("The sorted list of last names:")
    For Each name As Contact In sortedNames
        Console.WriteLine(name.LastName)
    Next
End Using

using (AdventureWorksEntities context =
    new AdventureWorksEntities())
{
    // Define a query that returns a list 
    // of Contact objects sorted by last name.
    var sortedNames =
        from n in context.Contacts
        orderby n.LastName
        select n;

    Console.WriteLine("The sorted list of last names:");
    foreach (Contact name in sortedNames)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(name.LastName);
    }
}

以下是 Entity SQL 示例。

' Define the Entity SQL query string that returns 
' Contact objects sorted by last name. 
Dim queryString As String = "SELECT VALUE contact FROM Contacts AS contact Order By contact.LastName"

Using context As New AdventureWorksEntities()
    ' Define an ObjectQuery that returns a collection 
    ' of Contact objects sorted by last name. 
    Dim query As New ObjectQuery(Of Contact)(queryString, context)

    Console.WriteLine("The sorted list of last names:")
    For Each name As Contact In query.Execute(MergeOption.AppendOnly)
        Console.WriteLine(name.LastName)
    Next
End Using

// Define the Entity SQL query string that returns 
// Contact objects sorted by last name.
string queryString = @"SELECT VALUE contact FROM Contacts AS contact 
        Order By contact.LastName";

using (AdventureWorksEntities context =
    new AdventureWorksEntities())
{
    // Define an ObjectQuery that returns a collection 
    // of Contact objects sorted by last name.
    ObjectQuery<Contact> query =
        new ObjectQuery<Contact>(queryString, context);

    Console.WriteLine("The sorted list of last names:");
    foreach (Contact name in query.Execute(MergeOption.AppendOnly))
    {
        Console.WriteLine(name.LastName);
    }
}

以下是查询生成器方法示例。

Using context As New AdventureWorksEntities()
    ' Define an ObjectQuery that returns a collection 
    ' of Contact objects sorted by last name. 
    Dim query As ObjectQuery(Of Contact) = context.Contacts.OrderBy("it.LastName")

    Console.WriteLine("The sorted list of last names:")
    For Each name As Contact In query.Execute(MergeOption.AppendOnly)
        Console.WriteLine(name.LastName)
    Next
End Using

using (AdventureWorksEntities context =
    new AdventureWorksEntities())
{
    // Define an ObjectQuery that returns a collection 
    // of Contact objects sorted by last name.
    ObjectQuery<Contact> query =
        context.Contacts.OrderBy("it.LastName");

    Console.WriteLine("The sorted list of last names:");
    foreach (Contact name in query.Execute(MergeOption.AppendOnly))
    {
        Console.WriteLine(name.LastName);
    }
}
