ASP.NET MVC - Order By Date - asp.net

Question

I am trying to sort table (columns: ID, Name, SermonDate, SermonTitle, BibleReading, VideoLink, BulletinLink) by date (SermonDate) so the data with the newest date comes on top and display it in my MVC application.
After some researching, I've tried putting the below with reference to this and this but nothing worked for me - probably because I misunderstood and put wrong code though.
public async Task<IActionResult> Index()
{
return View(await _context.Sermon.OrderBy(sermon =>
DateTime.Now).Take(5).ToListAsync());
}
My current controller (SermonsController.cs):
public SermonsController(BKPCContext context)
{
_context = context;
}
public async Task<IActionResult> Index()
{
return View(await _context.Sermon.OrderBy(sermon => DateTime.Now).Take(5).ToListAsync());
}
public async Task<IActionResult> Details(int? id)
{
if (id == null)
{
return NotFound();
}
var sermon = await _context.Sermon
.SingleOrDefaultAsync(m => m.ID == id);
if (sermon == null)
{
return NotFound();
}
return View(sermon);
}
public IActionResult Create()
{
return View();
}
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public async Task<IActionResult> Create([Bind("ID,Name,SermonDate,SermonTitle,BibleReading,VideoLink,BulletinLink")] Sermon sermon)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
_context.Add(sermon);
await _context.SaveChangesAsync();
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
return View(sermon);
}
And the html table in /Sermons/Index.cshtml as below:
<table class="table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>
#Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Name)
</th>
<th>
#Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.SermonDate)
</th>
<th>
#Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.SermonTitle)
</th>
<th>
#Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.BibleReading)
</th>
<th>
#Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.VideoLink)
</th>
<th>
#Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.BulletinLink)
</th>
<th>
</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
#foreach (var item in Model) {
<tr>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Name)
</td>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.SermonDate)
</td>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.SermonTitle)
</td>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.BibleReading)
</td>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.VideoLink)
</td>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.BulletinLink)
</td>
<td id="aspButton">
<a role="button" id="btn-primary" class="btn btn-primary" asp-action="Edit" asp-route-id="#item.ID">Edit</a>
<a role="button" id="btn-danger" class="btn btn-danger" asp-action="Delete" asp-route-id="#item.ID">Delete</a>
</td>
</tr>
}
</tbody>
Any help would really be appreciated.

Answer 1

public class Sermon{
public int ID {get;set;}
public DateTime DateAdded {get; set}
}
mySermonList.OrderByDescending(x => x.DateAdded);

Answer 2

i think the issue
sermon => DateTime.Now
you are sorting by DateTime.Now?
if sermon has date added field
sermon => dateadded for example
