Use LINQ to move item to top of list

by

What do you want to order by, other than the known top item? If you don’t care, you can do this:

var query = allCountries.OrderBy(x => x.id != 592).ToList();

Basically, “false” comes before “true”…

Admittedly I don’t know what this does in LINQ to SQL etc. You may need to stop it from doing the ordering in the database:

var query = allCountries.AsEnumerable()
                        .OrderBy(x => x.id != 592)
                        .ToList();
