Why does the order by in this query not work?
<div style="background-color:white; color:black
<pre>XElement doc = XElement.Load(File);







<span style="color:blue var answers = <span style="color:blue from a <span style="color:blue in doc.Elements(<span style="color:#a31515 "Item")



<span style="color:blue where a.Attribute(<span style="color:#a31515 "level").Value.Equals(level)



<span style="color:blue orderby <span style="color:blue int.Parse(a.Element(<span style="color:#a31515 "Response").Attribute(<span style="color:#a31515 "Correct").Value) <span style="color:blue descending



<span style="color:blue select a;







<pre><?xml version=<span style="color:#a31515 "1.0" encoding=<span style="color:#a31515 "utf-8"?>
