Refer my article http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/article/dynamically-bind-the-dropdownlist-on-change-event-in-asp-net-mvc-5/ You have to use OrderBy clause as DBContext objDBContext = new DBContext(); List ItemDetail = new List (); var sList = (from item in objDBContext.TableName select new { item.ID item.Name }).ToList(); ItemDetail = sList.Select(s => new YourModel { ID = s.ID Name = s.Name }).OrderBy(s => s.Name).ToList();
