      <para>The <see cref="T:System.Linq.IOrderedQueryable" /> interface is intended for implementation by query providers.</para>
      <para>This interface represents the result of a sorting query that calls the method(s) <see cref="Overload:System.Linq.Queryable.OrderBy" />, <see cref="Overload:System.Linq.Queryable.OrderByDescending" />, <see cref="Overload:System.Linq.Queryable.ThenBy" /> or <see cref="Overload:System.Linq.Queryable.ThenByDescending" />. When <see cref="M:System.Linq.IQueryProvider.CreateQuery(System.Linq.Expressions.Expression)" /> is called and passed an expression tree that represents a sorting query, the resulting <see cref="T:System.Linq.IQueryable" /> object must be of a type that implements <see cref="T:System.Linq.IOrderedQueryable" />.</para>
