Is it possible to return an IOrderedEnumerable from a method without using the OrderBy or OrderByDescending methods on an
IOrderedEnumerable
OrderBy
OrderByDescending
Well, you can implement IOrderedEnumerable<T> yourself if you want too... it's not hugely hard, depending on what you need to do. The easiest option is just to call OrderBy/OrderByDescending though :)
IOrderedEnumerable<T>
