Filter & Sorting Using NodeFactory

This isn't really a blog, just me posting up some code that I always seem to forget!  If you are not using Linq2Umbraco and sticking with Nodefactory (Shame on you), then you can still make use of Lamba Expressions and do some cool stuff with the data just using Nodefactory

Sorting Nodes By Created Date

// Get the latest BluRay parent node

Node myNode = new Node(1121);



// Now get all the children

Nodes SubPages = myNode.Children;



// Now use a lambda expression to sort the nodes by create date

var subPages = myNode.Children.Cast<Node>().OrderBy(x => x.CreateDate);

And just to show you get all the VS intellisense goodness [more]

And even better…

Kudos goes to the Australian legend Aaron for showing me how to do this.
