Based on previous answers I've created this comfortable helper to support all DisplayAttribute properties in a readable way:

public static class EnumExtensions
    {
        public static DisplayAttributeValues GetDisplayAttributeValues(this Enum enumValue)
        {
            var displayAttribute = enumValue.GetType().GetMember(enumValue.ToString()).First().GetCustomAttribute();

            return new DisplayAttributeValues(enumValue, displayAttribute);
        }

        public sealed class DisplayAttributeValues
        {
            private readonly Enum enumValue;
            private readonly DisplayAttribute displayAttribute;

            public DisplayAttributeValues(Enum enumValue, DisplayAttribute displayAttribute)
            {
                this.enumValue = enumValue;
                this.displayAttribute = displayAttribute;
            }

            public bool? AutoGenerateField => this.displayAttribute?.GetAutoGenerateField();
            public bool? AutoGenerateFilter => this.displayAttribute?.GetAutoGenerateFilter();
            public int? Order => this.displayAttribute?.GetOrder();
            public string Description => this.displayAttribute != null ? this.displayAttribute.GetDescription() : string.Empty;
            public string GroupName => this.displayAttribute != null ? this.displayAttribute.GetGroupName() : string.Empty;
            public string Name => this.displayAttribute != null ? this.displayAttribute.GetName() : this.enumValue.ToString();
            public string Prompt => this.displayAttribute != null ? this.displayAttribute.GetPrompt() : string.Empty;
            public string ShortName => this.displayAttribute != null ? this.displayAttribute.GetShortName() : this.enumValue.ToString();
        }
    }
