How to Sort Data using LINQ

I have been asked allot of questions in the forums lately about LINQ and one question that comes up is how to sort data. A user had an ArrayList of employees and he needed to order them by surname. I said use LINQ! It's as simple as this query:
C#

ArrayList names = new ArrayList(5);
names.Add("Tony Abbot");
names.Add("Tony A Farrow");
names.Add("Tony Charles");
names.Add("Tony Small");
names.Add("Bob Brown");

var query = from p in names.Cast<string>()
            let count = p.Split(' ').Length - 1
            let surname = p.Split(' ')[count]
            let givenname = p.Split(' ')[0]
            orderby surname ascending
            select new
            {
                GivenName = givenname,
                Surname = surname
            };

foreach (var item in query)
{
    // item.GivenName
    // item.Surname}

VB.NET

Dim names As New ArrayList(5)
names.Add("Tony Abbot")
names.Add("Tony A Farrow")
names.Add("Tony Charles")
names.Add("Tony Small")
names.Add("Bob Brown")

Dim query = _
    From p In names.Cast(Of String)() _
    Let count = p.Split(" "c).Length - 1 _
    Let surname = p.Split(" "c)(count) _
    Let givenname = p.Split(" "c)(0) _
    Order By surname Ascending _
    Select New
                givenname, Surname = surname
                GivenName = givenname, Surname

For Each item In query
    ' item.GivenName
    ' item.SurnameNext item
