[API Implementation]: Add Order and OrderDescending to Enumerable and Queryable

[deeprobin]

Proposal implementation of #67194 (closes#67194)

Proposal

namespaceSystem.Linq{publicpartialclassEnumerable{publicstaticIOrderedEnumerable<T>Order<T>(thisIEnumerable<T>source);publicstaticIOrderedEnumerable<T>Order<T>(thisIEnumerable<T>source,IComparer<T>comparer);publicstaticIOrderedEnumerable<T>OrderDescending<T>(thisIEnumerable<T>source);publicstaticIOrderedEnumerable<T>OrderDescending<T>(thisIEnumerable<T>source,IComparer<T>comparer);}publicpartialclassQueryable{[DynamicDependency("Order`1",typeof(Enumerable))]publicstaticIOrderedQueryable<T>Order<T>(thisIQueryable<T>source);[DynamicDependency("Order`1",typeof(Enumerable))]publicstaticIOrderedQueryable<T>Order<T>(thisIQueryable<T>source,IComparer<T>comparer);[DynamicDependency("OrderDescending`1",typeof(Enumerable))]publicstaticIOrderedQueryable<T>OrderDescending<T>(thisIQueryable<T>source);[DynamicDependency("OrderDescending`1",typeof(Enumerable))]publicstaticIOrderedQueryable<T>OrderDescending<T>(thisIQueryable<T>source,IComparer<T>comparer);}}

Current state of implementation

• Proposal implementation
• Ref assembly
• Tests ¹
• Documentation ²
• .NET announcement

Footnotes

1. I have implemented only the most important test cases, as I would imagine that the complex cases are flaky.
   If desired, I can also implement more test cases. ↩

2. Copied from the Microsoft Docs from the OrderBy overloads and adjusted accordingly. ↩

Note regarding the new-api-needs-documentation label:

This serves as a reminder for when your PR is modifying a ref *.cs file and adding/modifying public APIs, to please make sure the API implementation in the src *.cs file is documented with triple slash comments, so the PR reviewers can sign off that change.

1. One possibility would of course be to simply forward Order to OrderBy(static item => item), but I guess this won't be really performant, so I implemented it this way (using OrderedKeylessEnumerable).
   I would like to get some feedback. ↩

2. I have implemented only the most important test cases, as I would imagine that the complex cases are flaky.
   If desired, I can also implement more test cases. ↩

3. Copied from the Microsoft Docs from the OrderBy overloads and adjusted accordingly. ↩

I don't think there is no way queryable can implement this new API in a more performant way than enumerable now does, as there is no documented way to introspect the comparer and somehow handle that on a repository layer.

In that case: is it useful to add the helper on Queryable?

@eiriktsarpalis If you like you can fix the semicolons. I would get to it this evening (CET) at the earliest.

Ugh. I copied and pasted the code from main but it looks like fat arrow formatting was different. Should be fixed now.

[deeprobin]

@eiriktsarpalis Thank you. I think this is ready-to-merge. Or do you have concerns (then we could ask a 2nd reviewer)?

[deeprobin]

I think this API might not be bad for the announcements in the next preview version. Many people work with LINQ so this is probably a relatively interesting API.

[eiriktsarpalis]

@deeprobin Would you like to add a short announcement in the Preview 7 issue?

dotnet/core#7455

@eiriktsarpalisdotnet/core#7455 (comment) suggestions?

[eiriktsarpalis]

suggestions?

Looks good overall, I would skip the API shape and just focus on the final code sample. It should be enough to communicate the background and motivation.

I removed the api shape 👍🏼

Thanks @deeprobin !
