ListFolderAsync Order Entries by Name
I got this one running.
DropboxClient.Files.ListFolderAsync(<"">).Result.Entries
Now how do I get the entries listed by name in descending order? There's this OrderBy(of ) function on Entries but I don't know what parameter to put.

To list the contents of a particular path, make sure you implement both ListFolderAsync and ListFolderContinueAsync, as described in the ListFolderAsync documentation. You aren't guaranteed to get everything in one call, so you need to process everything, using both methods, as described there.
Once you've retrieved all of the entries and processed them as instructed, you can sort the results however you want. Exactly how you would do so depends on your app, but it sounds like you probably want to sort by Metadata.Name.
ListFolderAsync function is bad ...

the ListFolderAsync function:
why??

dropdev The Dropbox web site does not work exactly the same way as the Dropbox API. The ListFolder[Continue] functionality does not guarantee a particular ordering. Make sure you implement the API calls as documented to make sure you get a correct representation of the listing. You can then apply whatever sorting/ordering you want client-side.
