sql server - Why my Linqued query is not giving me proper result? -

i have sql query gives me proper result i.e names of employee sorted z using order clause

select distinct(empntlogin),employee attendance   createdate>='2016-01-01' order empntlogin 

when converted same query in linq,i getting right result order clause not working. here linqued query

    var query = (from attendance in db.attendances                      orderby attendance.empntlogin                      attendance.createdate.value.year >= 2016                      select new { attendance.employee, attendance.empntlogin }).distinct(); 

in linq query, distinct applied after orderby , therefore order discarded.

apply orderby after call distinct

var query = (from attendance in db.attendances              attendance.createdate.value.year >= 2016              select new              {                  attendance.employee,                  attendance.empntlogin              }).distinct().orderby(att => att.empntlogin);
