Yes, this should work since OrderByWeight is returning an IOrderedEnumerable. You would need to implement the ThenByWeight extension method.

Hi!
Great code.
Is it possible to use the function as a thenBy too?
Like for example
var data = dt.Select(g => new
{
Year = g.year,
}).OrderBy(x=>x.Month).ThenByWeight(a => a.Year, x =>
{
if (x.Contains(“2008″)) return 1;
if (x.Contains(“2009″)) return 2;
if (x.Contains(“2010″) return 3;
return 99;
});

I’m glad it was useful. I have used it many times since initially writing it.

Dude, you are cool!

I just used this in my code, and it works really nice.
Very nice.
