function void sortDynamicData(typeOfClass,SortKey)
{
List<dynamic> results = null; //results might be of any type it may contain students data or books data or professors data, hence I took as dynamic
results = services.GetMyresults(typeOfClass); //returns list of dynamic objects

results = results.OrderBy(SortKey).ToList();
 ...
 ...
 ...
 
}

my question is I want to sort the results based on sortKey
Any help would be greatly appreciable.

Solution 4

C#

results = results.OrderByDescending(x =>
                    {
                        var dic = x as IDictionary<string, object>;
                        return dic[SortKey];
                    }).ToList();
