Entity Framework , List and Lambda

Question

im working with EF codefirst and i need to sort the list of entries, i tried but could not find how to solve this task:

Lets say we have expression

thelist.orderby(p=> p.Name)

Question is : How to pass string instead of "p.Name" in case if i want to order list by p.Age for example

Because there are like 20 or more options to sort so im trying to shrink the code

Just install Dynamic LINQ (NuGet source), include using System.Linq.Dynamic; with your namespaces, and you'll be able to call:

thelist.OrderBy("Name");
thelist.OrderByDescending(someStringParameter);

etc.
