使用LINQ对列表及其所有嵌套对象进行排序

Question

有一个组织有几个部门,每个部门都有一些员工.

我创建了以下对象模型:

public class Organisation
{
    public int Code { get; set; }
    public string Type { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public List<Department> Departments { get; set; }
}

public class Department
{
    public int Code { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public List<Employee> Employees { get; set; }
}

public class Employee
{
    public int Code { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

现在,我有一个这些组织的列表并使用LINQ,我想按如下方式对输出进行排序/排序:

1)组织:按代码和名称订购

2)部门:按代码和名称订购

3)员工:按代码和名称订购

以下是我填充的一些测试数据:

var britishTelecomLtd = new Organisation
            {
                Code = 8,

                    {
                        new Department
                            {

                                Code = 5,
                                Name = "Warehouse",
                                Employees = new List<Employee>
                                    {
                                        new Employee
                                            {
                                                Code = 5,
                                                Name = "Andy"
                                            },
                                        new Employee
                                            {
                                                Code = 2,
                                                Name = "Robert"
                                            },
                                        new Employee
                                            {
                                                Code = 6,
                                                Name = "Dave"
                                            }
                                    }
                            }

                    }
            };

        var organisations = new List<Organisation>
            {
                britishTelecomLtd,
                virginMediaLtd,
                pcWorldLtd,
                blueCatLtd
            };

这里我将数据添加到字典中:

   var legalEntitiesCollectionByType = new Dictionary<string, ICollection<Organisation>>
            {
                {
                    "Institutional", organisations
                        .Where(x => x.Type == "Institutional")
                        .OrderBy(x => x.Code).ThenBy(x => x.Name)
                        .ToList()
                },
                {
                    "Retail", organisations
                        .Where(x => x.Type == "Retail")
                        .OrderBy(x => x.Code).ThenBy(x => x.Name)
                        .ToList()
                }
            };

这样做,排序只发生在组织层面而不是部门或员工层面.

我的问题是,如何填充对象层次结构中的所有3个级别,同时填充上面的字典？

干杯

Answer 1

我知道这是一个老问题,但是有一种更简单的方法可以实现相同的结果:

organisations = organisations.OrderBy(org =>
{
   org.Departments = org.Departments
   .OrderBy(dept =>
   {
     dept.Employees = dept.Employees
                     .OrderBy(employee => employee.Code)
                     .ThenBy(employee=>employee.Name);
     return dept.Code;
   })
   .ThenBy(dept=>dept.Name);

   return org.Code;
})
.ThenBy(org=>org.Name); 

Answer 2

您需要在返回的对象内进行所有三个级别的排序，如下所示（我将仅显示"Retail"，"Institutional"需要以相同方式排序）：

{
"Retail", organisations
    .Where(x => x.Type == "Retail")
    .OrderBy(x => x.Code).ThenBy(x => x.Name)
    .Select(x => new Organisation {
        x.Code
    ,   x.Type
    ,   x.Name
    ,   Departments = x.Departmentsd.OrderBy(d => d.Code).ThenBy(d => d.Name)
        .Select(d => new Department {
            d.Code
        ,   d.Name
        ,   Employees = d.Employees.OrderBy(e => e.Code).ThenBy(e => e.Name).ToList()
        })
    }).ToList()
}

由于您需要多次选择它，您可能希望将此代码包装在一个方法中，并从多个位置使用它，如下所示：

private Organisation SortedOrganisation(Organisation x) {
    return new Organisation {
        x.Code
    ,   x.Type
    ,   x.Name
    ,   Departments = x.Departmentsd.OrderBy(d => d.Code).ThenBy(d => d.Name)
        .Select(d => new Department {
            d.Code
        ,   d.Name
        ,   Employees = d.Employees.OrderBy(e => e.Code).ThenBy(e => e.Name).ToList()
        })
    };
}

...

var legalEntitiesCollectionByType = new Dictionary<string, ICollection<Organisation>>
        {
            {
                "Institutional", organisations
                    .Where(x => x.Type == "Institutional")
                    .OrderBy(x => x.Code).ThenBy(x => x.Name)
                    .Select(SortedOrganisation)
                    .ToList()
            },
            {
                "Retail", organisations
                    .Where(x => x.Type == "Retail")
                    .OrderBy(x => x.Code).ThenBy(x => x.Name)
                    .Select(SortedOrganisation)
                    .ToList()
            }
        };
