Хотя я думаю, что решение @ tvanfosson будет отлично работать, я также изучаю эту возможность:
/// <summary>
/// This extension method is used to help us apply ISortOptions to an IQueryable.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="collection">This is the IQueryable you wish to apply the ISortOptions to.</param>
/// <param name="sortOptions">These are the ISortOptions you wish to have applied. You must specify at least one ISortOption (otherwise, don't call this method).</param>
/// <returns>This returns an IQueryable object.</returns>
/// <remarks>This extension method should honor deferred execution on the IQueryable that is passed in.</remarks>
public static IOrderedQueryable<TModel> ApplySortOptions<TModel, TProperty>(this IQueryable<TModel> collection, IEnumerable<ISortOption<TModel, TProperty>> sortOptions) where TModel : class
{
Debug.Assert(sortOptions != null, "ApplySortOptions cannot accept a null sortOptions input.");
Debug.Assert(sortOptions.Count() > 0, "At least one sort order must be specified to ApplySortOptions' sortOptions input.");
var firstSortOption = sortOptions.OrderBy(o => o.Priority).First();
var propertyName = firstSortOption.Property.MemberWithoutInstance();
var isAscending = firstSortOption.IsAscending;
// Perform the first sort action
var results = isAscending ? collection.OrderBy(propertyName) : collection.OrderByDescending(propertyName);
// Loop through all of the rest ISortOptions
foreach (var sortOption in sortOptions.OrderBy(o => o.Priority).Skip(1))
{
// Make a copy of this or our deferred execution will bite us later.
var currentOption = sortOption;
propertyName = currentOption.Property.MemberWithoutInstance();
isAscending = currentOption.IsAscending;
// Perform the additional orderings.
results = isAscending ? results.ThenBy(propertyName) : results.ThenByDescending(propertyName);
}
return results;
}
используя код из этого вопроса ответа :

{
return ApplyOrder(source, property, "OrderBy");
}

}
