order_by(key)

The order_by method order the collection in ascending order using the key lambda expression. This method is not an executing function.

Example

from py_linq import Enumerable

numbers = Enumerable([80, 90, 25, 65])
ascending_numbers = numbers.order_by(lambda x: x).to_list() # results [25, 65, 80, 90]
