I got this single line of code: viewModel.MyOrders.AddRange(responseModel.Data.Select(orders => orders));
I receive all the orders. If there are more than one row for the same order, I'd like to select the first one. That way I don't get something like this:
Orders:
1111 UT
2222 VA
2222 FL
3333 CA
Instead, I need to get something like this:
1111 UT
2222 VA
3333 CA

if you group by orderid (or whatever the key is), then you will get a grip for each order and in this group you will get a collection of the dups. you then need to summarize this collection to one row, say using first(), or summations.
var orders = response.Model.Data.GroupBy
(
r => r.OrderIdId,
r => r,
(key, g) => g.First()
);

You need to apply the group by clause https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/linq/group-query-results

I tried this, but do I need to add the name of the order field?
viewModel.MyOrders.AddRange(responseModel.Data.Select(orders => orders).Distinct());
How the query will identify that I need distinct order number, even if I have different States within the data?

One more column is required either an identity or sort. Otherwise, 2222 can be VA or FL.

right, which is good. How do you recommend fixing this?
viewModel.MyOrders.AddRange(responseModel.Data.Select(orders => orders).Distinct());
