Hello,

My question is how to sort a Linq query by a sub table:

Table Apps:

- app_id
- name

Table AppStatus:

 - app_status_id
 - app_id
 - severity
 - status_date

I would like to have a query with all the apps, sorted by the last status severity:

app_id  name
1   first
2   second
3   third

app_status_id   app_id  severity    status_date
1   1   5   12-4-2010
2   1   2   15-4-2010
3   2   7   10-4-2010
4   3   3   13-4-2010

Now i want it sorted like:
app_id  name
3   third
1   first
2   second

Can anyone help me with a LINQ query for this.

I tried the following already, but that didn't work:

    var apps = from apps in dc.Apps
                         orderby apps.AppStatus.LastOrDefault().severity
                         select apps;
