Sorting the C# List with Date(11 Sep 2015 --> Date format) in Descending Order? -

indexlist = savelist     .where(i => (convert.todatetime(i.event_startdate) < datetime.today)               && (convert.todatetime(i.event_enddate)   < datetime.today))     .tolist(); event_list.itemssource = indexlist.orderby(i => i.event_startdate); 

i wrote code above sort list contains date in format(11 sep 2015), want sort in way that, should display recent date date on top of list. how modify above statement

i have tried using orderbydescending(i=>i.event_startdate); no use.

you need parse date todatetime object in order sort it, things easy:

var results = (from item in savelist                 let dtstart = convert.todatetime(item.event_startdate)                 let dtend = convert.todatetime(item.event_enddate)                 dtstart.date < datetime.today && dtend.date < datetime.today                 orderby dtstart descending                 select item).tolist();  event_list.itemssource = results;
