Split C# collection into equal parts, maintaining sort

Question

I am trying to split a collection into multiple collections while maintaining a sort I have on the collection. I have tried using the following extension method, but it breaks

Answer 1

This will do exactly as requested. It will also cater for uneven groupings i.e. 27 elements in to 10 groups will yield 7 groups of three and 3 groups of two

        public static IEnumerable> SplitMaintainingOrder(this IEnumerable list, int parts)
    {
        if (list.Count() == 0) return Enumerable.Empty>();

        var toreturn = new List>();

        var splitFactor = Decimal.Divide((decimal)list.Count(), parts);
        int currentIndex = 0;

        for (var i = 0; i < parts; i++)
        {
            var toTake = Convert.ToInt32(
                i == 0 ? Math.Ceiling(splitFactor) : (
                    (Decimal.Compare(Decimal.Divide(Convert.ToDecimal(currentIndex), Convert.ToDecimal(i)), splitFactor) > 0) ? 
                        Math.Floor(splitFactor) : Math.Ceiling(splitFactor)));

            toreturn.Add(list.Skip(currentIndex).Take(toTake));
            currentIndex += toTake;
        }

        return toreturn;
    }

For demo purposes

        [TestMethod]
    public void splitlist()
    {
        var list = new decimal[] { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 };

        var splitlists = list.SplitMaintainingOrder(10);

        int i = 1;

        foreach (var group in splitlists)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Group {0} elements {1}", i++, String.Join(",", group));                 
        }
    }

the above demo yields
