Store multi-type OrderBy expression as a property

Question

In a generic abstract base class I\'m storing a couple of expressions used for ordering:

public Expression> OrderByString { get;

This is easy to do if you use the DynamicLinq library found at NuGet.org. This allows you to write queries like;

db.People.Where("Id == 8");
db.People.OrderBy("Created ASC");

That way you can save or pass in your where clauses as strings. No fuss, no muss.
