Does anyone know why the types of the result of these two queries is different?
// q1 is IOrderedEnumerable<int>
var q1 = from c1 in new[] { 1, 2, 3 }
orderby c1
select c1;
// q2 is IEnumerable<int>
var q2 = from c1 in new[] { 1, 2, 3 }
from c2 in new[] { 1, 2, 3 }
where c1 == c2
orderby c1
select c1;
I cannot work out why q2 is not also an IOrderedEnumerable<int>.
Using a 'join' clause doesn't make a difference:
// q3 is IEnumerable<int>
var q3 = from c1 in new[] { 1, 2, 3 }
join c2 in new[] { 1, 2, 3 }
on c1 equals c2
orderby c1
select c1;
