LINQ Sorting - First three need to be different manufacturers
- by Rob
My OM has a 'product' object.
Each product has a 'manufacturer id' (property, integer).
When I have a list of products to display, the first three are displayed as the 'featured products'.
The list is already sorted in a specific sort order, putting the 'featured' products first in the list.
However, I now need to ensure the featured products in the listing are from different Manufacturers. I want to have a method to call to do this re-sorting. Trying to utilize LINQ to to the querying of the input 'products' and the 'results'
public List<Product> SetFeatures(List<Product> products, int numberOfFeatures)
{
List<Product> result;
// ensure the 2nd product is different manufacturer than the first ....
// ensure the 3rd product is a different manufacturer than the first two...
// ... etc ... for the numberOfFeatures
return result;
}
Thanks in advance.
