asp.net mvc - Ordering items from a model in a list C# -

i'm new mvc 4 , i'm trying figure out how order list being created reading in model.

here model code:

public class files {     [key]     public int file_id { get; set; }     public string original_file_name { get; set; }     public string current_file_name { get; set; }     public string description { get; set; }     public string file_path { get; set; }     public string file_type { get; set; }     public string file_status { get; set; }     public datetime expiry_date { get; set; }     //public int uploaded_by { get; set; }     //public datetime uploaded_on { get; set; } }  public class filescontext : dbcontext {     public dbset<files> files { get; set; } } 

here controller code creates list:

return view(db.files.tolist()); 

lastly html writes screen:

@foreach (var item in model) { <tr>     <td>         @html.displayfor(modelitem => item.original_file_name)     </td>     <td>         @html.displayfor(modelitem => item.current_file_name)     </td>     <td>         @html.displayfor(modelitem => item.file_type)     </td>     <td>         @html.displayfor(modelitem => item.file_status)     </td>     <td>         @html.displayfor(modelitem => item.expiry_date)     </td>     <td>         @html.actionlink("details", "details", new { id=item.file_id }) |         <!--@html.actionlink("test", "test", new { id=item.file_id }) |-->         @html.actionlink("delete", "delete", new { id=item.file_id })     </td> </tr> } 

order file name ascending:

db.files.orderby(file => file.original_file_name).tolist(); 

order file name descening:

db.files.orderbydescending(file => file.original_file_name).tolist(); 

multiple order by:

db.files.orderby(file => file.original_file_name).thenby(file => file.expiry_date).tolist();
