Can I use a TryParse inside Linq Comparable?

Question

A sort of:

Documenti = Documenti
    .OrderBy(o => string.IsNullOrEmpty(o.Note))
    .ThenBy(o => Int32.TryParse(o.Note))
    .ToList();

Answer 1

Documenti = Documenti.OrderBy(o =>
        int.TryParse(o.Note, out int val)
            ? val
            : int.MaxValue /* or int.MinValue */
    ).ToList();

Note: Toggling between int.MaxValue and int.MinValue will either put the empty values at the front or the end of the list.
