在VB.NET的LINQ中ORDERBY的语法是什么？

Question

我是Linq的新手，VB中orderby的语法是什么？

Dim cxt As New datContext
Dim qry = (From lst In cxt.zipcodes _
              Select lst.state).Distinct

    qry = qry.OrderBy()

我的简单sql语句将是这样的：

Select distinct state from zipcodes
order by State

Answer 1

qry = qry.OrderBy(Function(obj) obj.PropertyToSortBy)

Answer 2

查询的替代语法（更清洁的IMO）：

Dim qry = From lst In cxt.zipcodes _
          Select lst.state Distinct _
          Order By state

Answer 3

Dim cxt As New datContext

Dim qry = (From lst In cxt.zipcodes OrderBy lst.state).Distinct.tolist

Dim statelst = qry.Select(Function(o) o.state).ToList
