Excellent piece of code thanks, however one problem with this is that it throws if child is null. A solution to this would be very welcome

It just doesn't work on a queryable but does work server side SQL

I have created the LinqExtension class in my app. I am at a loss how to use it though. If I simply copy the "Sort on property" code and replace the var context=new Context() with var context=teamrecords; I get an error and if I change that so it has using (List<VMTeamRecord> context = teamRecords) I still get an error. I am at a loss as how to use this

Hi Lloyd, what error are you getting? Keep in mind that context here is a DbContext and not a collection of entities. More info on how to use Extension Methods can be found here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/classes-and-structs/extension-methods

Thanks a lot. Just got a question. As a newbie i dont understand the following code. Why checking if the childproperty is of generic type when in the both if and else clause you write the same code? property = SearchProperty(t, childProperties[i]);

Hmm good question... I might have had some other ideas there and forgot to remove the code completly. It's ben a while since I've written this. I've adjusted the code and removed the IF-statement. Thanks a lot for noticing!
