I need to order by 2 columns using the entity framework.

How is that done?

return _repository.GetSomething().OrderBy(x => x.Col1   .. Col2)?

i.e 

SELECT * FROM Foo ORDER BY Col1, Col2

Following sorting happens in the DB level. Not on the returned result.

Try:

IQueryable<a>.OrderBy("col1 asc, col2 asc")

Example 1:

ctx.CateringOrders.OrderBy("Details.DeliveryDate asc, Details.DeliveryTime asc")

Example 2:

ctx.CateringOrders.OrderBy("{0} {1}, {2} {3}", 
    "Details.DeliveryDate", "asc",
    "Details.DeliveryTime", "asc" 
)

Where IQueryable<a> is entity query, "col1 asc" is column 1 and sorting direction "col2 asc" is column 2 and sorting direction
