Hi, 

Does anyone know if it is possible to programmatically set the orderby and ascending/descending conditions within a Linq statement (such as passing in values from the method parameter
s list)?

For example, assuming that I am using the following example Linq statement:

IOrderedQueryable<Employees> hireQuery =
    from emp in db.Employees
    orderby emp.HireDate descending
    select emp;

Is it possible to programmatically set the orderby line programmatically by passing in dynamic values for the orderby column and where the column will be ascending/descending, rather than hard-coding such values?

Thanks,

John
