LINQ OrderBy with more than one field

You need to use ThenBy:

listOfPeople.OrderBy(person => person.LastName)
            .ThenBy(person => person.FirstName)

If you want to use method syntax, use ThenBy(), as others suggested:

listOfPeople.OrderBy(person => person.LastName)
            .ThenBy(person => person.FirstName)

In query syntax, the same can be accomplished pretty much the way you wanted: two sort keys separated by a comma:

from person in listOfPeople
orderby person.LastName, person.FirstName
select person

The above code will be actually compiled to code that uses OrderBy() and ThenBy(), as in the first example.

Also, if you'd like to have OrderBy() that takes two (or more) sort keys, you can certainly write that as an extension method on IEnumerable<T> that internally calls OrderBy() and ThenBy().

Your subsequent fields should be ordered by using the ThenBy() method

The way to order a list with more filed is the follow:

var soterdList = initialList.OrderBy(x => x.Priority).
                                    ThenBy(x => x.ArrivalDate).
                                    ThenBy(x => x.ShipDate);

You can add other fields with clasole "ThenBy"

Use .ThenBy(aPerson=>field2);

var sortedListOfPeople = listOfPeople.OrderBy(aPerson => aPerson.LastName).ThenBy(a => aPerson.FirstName);
