Sorting array by multiple key values

Question

foreach(Unit enemy in enemies.OrderByDescending(enemy=>enemy.CurrentHP))
{
    Events.UnitDamaged(enemy);
    return;
}

How to pass multiple key values to Sorting? Something like

enemies.OrderByDescending(enemy => enemy.CurrentHP && enemy.MaximumHP)

do you mean something like enemies.OrderByDescending(enemy => enemy.CurrentHP).ThenBy(enemy => enemy.MaximumHP) ? — Dennis

Use ThenBy:

enemies.OrderByDescending(enemy => enemy.CurrentHP)
       .ThenBy(enemy => enemy.MaximumHP)

Or ThenByDescending:

enemies.OrderByDescending(enemy => enemy.CurrentHP)
       .ThenByDescending(enemy => enemy.MaximumHP)

Try this:

enemies.OrderByDescending(enemy => enemy.CurrentHP)
       .ThenByDescending(enemy1 =>  enemy1.MaximumHP)

You could do

enemies.OrderByDescending(enemy => enemy.CurrentHP)
       .ThenByDescending(enemy => enemy.MaximumHP)

This will just apply the second sort, and ignore the first one (although, performancewise, it will also do the first one). You need ThenBy or ThenByDescending, methods of the IOrderedEnumerable.
