how do I sort a collection with child property?

Question

I should sort parent based on a field of child.

sample code;

IQueryable data = context.Parents.Include(o=>o.Children);

Answer 1

You can take one of the children names to sort by, probably select it by doing the corresponding sorting?

Something like:

IQueryable data = context.Parents.OrderBy(
     p=>p.Children.OrderBy(chi => chi.Name).FirstOrDefault());
