Multiple actions on a list

I have this list.I want to have distinct values based on category sorted by the Order .Can someone please tell me how can I do it.

public class Item
    {
        public string URL{ get; set; }
        public string Title { get; set; }
        public string Category { get; set; }        
        public string Order{ get; set; }


    }

    var Test = new List<Items>

    var groups = Test.Select(g => g.category).Distinct();

Thanks

var groups = Test
    .GroupBy(g => g.Category)
    .Select(g => new
                 {
                     Category = g.Key,
                     Items = g.OrderBy(i => i.Order)
                 })
    .OrderBy(g => g.Category)
    .SelectMany(g => g.Items)
    .ToList();

or, essentially the same thing in this case:

Test.OrderBy(it => it.Category).ThenBy(it => it.Order)

The first code you can take out the SelectMany if you want a list of groups with sub-lists of items in that category sorted by Order.
