Can we control LINQ expression order with Skip(), Take() and OrderBy()

Question

I\'m using LINQ to Entities to display paged results. But I\'m having issues with the combination of Skip(), Take() and OrderBy() calls.

Answer 1

I haven't worked directly with Linq to Entities, but it should have a way to hook specific stored procedures into certain locations when needed. (Linq to SQL did.) If so, you could turn this query into a stored procedure, doing exacly what is required, and doing it efficiently.
