[c#] LINQ orderby on date field in descending order

How can I change the LINQ query in the code below to sort by date in descending order (latest first, earliest last)?

using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Collections.Generic;


namespace Helloworld
{
    class MainClass
    {
        public static void Main (string[] args)
        {
            List<Envelops> env = new List<Envelops> ();
            Envelops e = new Envelops { ReportDate = DateTime.Now };
            env.Add (e);
            e = new Envelops { ReportDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays (5) };
            env.Add (e);
            e = new Envelops { ReportDate = new DateTime (2011, 3, 3) };
            env.Add (e);
            e = new Envelops { ReportDate = DateTime.Now };
            env.Add (e);

            foreach (Envelops r in env) {
                Console.WriteLine (  r.ReportDate.ToString("yyyy-MMM"));
            }

            var ud = (from d in env                  
                select  d.ReportDate.ToString("yyyy-MMM") ).Distinct();     

            Console.WriteLine ("After distinct");

            foreach (var r in ud) {
                Console.WriteLine (r);
            }

        }
    }

    class Envelops
    {
        public DateTime ReportDate { get; set; }
    }

}`enter code here`

the current output is:

2011-Apr
2011-May
2011-Mar
2011-Apr
After distinct
2011-Apr
2011-May
2011-Mar

I want the output to in the following order:

may
april
march order

This question is related to c# linq

The answer is


env.OrderByDescending(x => x.ReportDate)

I was trying to also sort by a DateTime field descending and this seems to do the trick:

var ud = (from d in env 
     orderby -d.ReportDate.Ticks                 
     select  d.ReportDate.ToString("yyyy-MMM") ).Distinct(); 

This statement will definitely help you:

env = env.OrderByDescending(c => c.ReportDate).ToList();
