Hi,

try below Code for Sorting using LINQ to XML..

XDocument data = XDocument.Load(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/Data/Customers.xml"));

    return Convert.ToInt32(
		(from c in data.Descendants("Customer")
		orderby Convert.ToInt32(c.Attribute("ID").Value) descending
		select c.Attribute("ID").Value).FirstOrDefault()
		) + 1;
