orderby

var result = db.PhotoAlbums.Select(albums => new PhotoAlbumDisplay
            {
                AlbumID = albums.AlbumID,
                Title = albums.Title,
                Date = albums.Date,
                PhotoID = albums.Photos.Select(photo => photo.PhotoID).FirstOrDefault().ToString()
            });

Wherever I try to put orderby albums.AlbumID descending I get error. Someone knows solution?
Thanks!
