Sort elements of an Array in a Linq query?

I have a List(of Integer()) and I would like to sort the elements of the integer array, all this in-one-line, the problem is that the Array.Sort method does not return a value then which would be an efficient way?

So for example my list contains as the first Array element (MyArrayList.First) this Array:

{4, 5, 2, 6, 3, 1}

I need to sort the elements

{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

Example (not working):

' Combos is the List(of Integer())
Combos = (From Combo As Integer() In Combos 
          Select Array.Sort(Combo)).ToList

Is this what you are looking for

    Combos.ForEach(Sub(x As Integer()) Array.Sort(x))

Why the desire to use just one line?

For Each x In combos : Array.Sort(x) : Next

One line:

Dim result = (From item As Integer() In list Select (From n As Integer In item Select n Order By n Ascending).ToArray()).ToList()
