XML

create an extension method as below

 public static class SortingExtension
    {
      public static IQueryable<T> OrderByField<T>(this IQueryable<T> q, string SortField, bool Ascending)
      {
          var param = Expression.Parameter(typeof(T), "p");
          var prop = Expression.Property(param, SortField);
          var exp = Expression.Lambda(prop, param);
          string method = Ascending ? "OrderBy" : "OrderByDescending";
          Type[] types = new Type[] { q.ElementType, exp.Body.Type };
          var mce = Expression.Call(typeof(Queryable), method, types, q.Expression, exp);
          return q.Provider.CreateQuery<T>(mce);
      }
    }


//Do the following changes in the Action To the QueryField pass the column_Name to sortBy and the true/false value if true it will sort by Ascending for false Descending

var printerMaster = db.PrinterMasters.Include(x => x.WarehouseMaster);

printerMaster.OrderByField(fieldName,true)

public ActionResult Index(int? page, string sortOrder,string sortvarOrder)
{
ViewBag.NameSortParm = sortvarOrder == sortOrder ? "sortOrder_desc" : sortOrder;
var pi = ViewBag.NameSortParm;

int pageSize = 5;
ViewBag.pagesize=pageSize;
int pageNumber = (page ?? 1);
var printerMaster = db.PrinterMasters.Include(x => x.WarehouseMaster);

if (sortOrder != null)
{
if (pi != "sortOrder_desc")
{
var result = db.PrinterMasters.OrderBy(sortOrder).ToList();
ViewBag.cnt = result.Count();
return View(result.ToPagedList(pageNumber, pageSize));
}
else
{
var result1 = db.PrinterMasters.OrderBy("it." + sortOrder + " desc").ToList();
ViewBag.cnt = result1.Count();
return View(result1.ToPagedList(pageNumber, pageSize));
}
}
else
{
sortOrder = "WarehouseID";
var result = db.PrinterMasters.OrderBy(sortOrder).ToList();
ViewBag.cnt=result.Count();
return View(result.ToPagedList(pageNumber, pageSize));
}
}

and my view::

@Html.ActionLink("WarehouseName", "Index", new { sortvarOrder = ViewBag.NameSortParm, sortOrder = "PrinterID" })

@Html.ActionLink("PrinterName", "Index", new { sortOrder = "PrinterName", sortvarOrder = ViewBag.NameSortParm })
