Fluent API Ordering of One-to-Many

[John]

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to specify the ordering of list elements when defining a one-to-many association using the Fluent API?

For example - an equivalent of the following which can be specified in the config file mapping.

Thanks
John

<field name="studentList">
 <collection> <!-- ItemType is Student -->
   <extension key="ordering"
     value="addr.city ascending, addr.street ascending" />
 </collection>
</field>

Hello John,

 You can use the OrderBy method. Here is an example:

string orderByClause = "Ascending myColum, descending OrderId";
            MappingConfiguration<Product> customerMapping = new MappingConfiguration<Product>();
            customerMapping.MapType().ToTable("Products");
            TestFluentMappingSource source = new TestFluentMappingSource();
            source.MappingConfigurations.Add(customerMapping);

            customerMapping.HasAssociation(x => x.Stores).OrderBy(orderByClause);

Please have in mind that the OrderBy method is in the 

Telerik.OpenAccess.Metadata.Fluent.Advanced namespace.
