Eu estava tentando implementar ojQgrid usandoMvcjQgrid e eu tenho essa exceção.

System.NotSupportedException was unhandled by user code
  Message=The method 'Skip' is only supported for sorted input in LINQ to Entities. The method 'OrderBy' must be called before the method 'Skip'.

Embora OrdeyBy é usado antes do método Skip porque está gerando a exceção? Como pode ser resolvido?

Eu encontrei a exceção no controlador:

public ActionResult GridDataBasic(GridSettings gridSettings)
        {          
            var jobdescription = sm.GetJobDescription(gridSettings);
            var totalJobDescription = sm.CountJobDescription(gridSettings);

            var jsonData = new
            {
                total = totalJobDescription / gridSettings.PageSize + 1,
                page = gridSettings.PageIndex,
                records = totalJobDescription,
                rows = (
                    from j in jobdescription
                    select new
                    {
                        id = j.JobDescriptionID,
                        cell = new[] 
                    { 
                        j.JobDescriptionID.ToString(), 
                        j.JobTitle,
                        j.JobType.JobTypeName,
                        j.JobPriority.JobPriorityName,
                        j.JobType.Rate.ToString(),
                        j.CreationDate.ToShortDateString(),
                         j.JobDeadline.ToShortDateString(),

                    }
                    }).ToArray()
            };
            return Json(jsonData, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
        }

Método GetJobDescription eMétodo CountJobDescription

public int CountJobDescription(GridSettings gridSettings)
        {
            var jobdescription = _dataContext.JobDescriptions.AsQueryable();

            if (gridSettings.IsSearch)
            {
                jobdescription = gridSettings.Where.rules.Aggregate(jobdescription, FilterJobDescription);
            }
            return jobdescription.Count();
        }

        public IQueryable<JobDescription> GetJobDescription(GridSettings gridSettings)
        {
            var jobdescription = orderJobDescription(_dataContext.JobDescriptions.AsQueryable(), gridSettings.SortColumn, gridSettings.SortOrder);

            if (gridSettings.IsSearch)
            {
                jobdescription = gridSettings.Where.rules.Aggregate(jobdescription, FilterJobDescription);
            }

            return jobdescription.Skip((gridSettings.PageIndex - 1) * gridSettings.PageSize).Take(gridSettings.PageSize);
        }

E finalmenteFilterJobDescription e OrderJobDescription

private static IQueryable<JobDescription> FilterJobDescription(IQueryable<JobDescription> jobdescriptions, Rule rule)
        {
            if (rule.field == "JobDescriptionID")
            {
                int result;
                if (!int.TryParse(rule.data, out result))
                    return jobdescriptions;
                return jobdescriptions.Where(j => j.JobDescriptionID == Convert.ToInt32(rule.data));

            }

// Similar Statements

            return jobdescriptions;
        }



private IQueryable<JobDescription> orderJobDescription(IQueryable<JobDescription> jobdescriptions, string sortColumn, string sortOrder)
        {
            if (sortColumn == "JobDescriptionID")
                return (sortOrder == "desc") ? jobdescriptions.OrderByDescending(j => j.JobDescriptionID) : jobdescriptions.OrderBy(j => j.JobDescriptionID);

            return jobdescriptions;
        }
