            var thenByResult = List.OrderBy(s => s.empname).ThenBy(s => s.age);            foreach (employee emp in thenByResult)                Console.WriteLine("Id:" + emp.id + ", Name:" + emp.empname + ", Age:" + emp.age);            Console.ReadLine();        }    }    class employee    {        public int id { get; set; }        public string empname { get; set; }        public int age { get; set; }    }}
