Lambda expression for sorting list of collection

Question

My input is below xml file

<Employees>
  <Department Position="9">
   <Employee No="7" Status="True" />
   <Employee No="6" Status="True" />
   <Employee No="8" Status="True" />
</Department>
<Department Position="4">
  <Employee No="7" Status="True" />
  <Employee No="8" Status="True" />
  <Employee No="6" Status="True" />
</Department>
</Employees>

Out put should  be  sorted  by department position  and  employee  "No"


<Employees>
 <Department Position="4">
  <Employee No="6" Status="True" />
  <Employee No="7" Status="True" />
  <Employee No="8" Status="True" />
 </Department>
 <Department Position="9">
   <Employee No="6" Status="True" />
   <Employee No="7" Status="True" />
   <Employee No="8" Status="True" />
 </Department>

I have added below code but it returns either "position" wise or "No" wise but not both.

var sortSignalList = new Dictionary<int, List<string>>();

sortSignalList.OrderBy(x => x.Position).OrderBy(x=>x.No).ToList();

Possible duplicate of LINQ OrderBy versus ThenBy

List can also be Sorted ThenByDescending

var thenByDescResult =sortSignalList.OrderBy(s => s.Position).ThenByDescending(s => s.No);
