String Sort using LINQ VB.NET

            

Sorting a string array using LINQ. suppose LINQ array has firstname,lastname ,default sort works on firstname. If user wants to sort on LastName. then you can follow this logic.

 name contains format:  FirstName,LastName

  Dim strFirstLastNames() As String =  New String() {"Amar,josuva","peter,hans","tom,cruise","Preeti,Zinta"};

Private  Sub SortByFirstName()
            var query = from name in strFirstLastNames
                        orderby name
                        Dim name As select

            Dim str As String
            For Each str In query
                Console.WriteLine(str)
            Next
End Sub

OUTPUT(alphabetical order)

--------------------

Amar,josuva
peter,hans
Preeti,Zinta
tom,cruise

Private  Sub SortByLastName()
            Console.WriteLine()

            var query = from name in strFirstLastNames
                        Dim lastname As let =  name.Split(New Char()
                        {
                            ","c
                        }
)(1)
                        orderby lastname
                        Dim name As select
               'For Descending  orderby lastname descending
            Dim str As String
