Order by enum description

Question

I am working on an ASP.NET MVC projet using EF code first, and I am facing a situation where I need to order by an enum description:

public partial class Ite         


        

Answer 1

To keep it simple and with a good performance, I would order the enum manually, you only have to do it once, and it will help a lot

public enum MyEnumE
{
    Enum1 = 3,
    Enum2 = 1,
    Enum3 = 2, // set the order here... 
}
