OrderByAttribute Class

Specifies the default ordering of items in a many-valued association collection.

Remarks

Apply this attribute to a field or property that is also decorated with ManyValuedAssociation. The ordering is applied at the database level (an ORDER BY clause is added to the SELECT statement). It does not reorder items already in memory. Specify one or more class member names (not column names), separated by commas. Append " DESC" (with a space) after a member name to sort descending. To order by a member of an associated object, prefix with the association name and a dot, for example "Customer.Country.Name".
