C# - Order By Descending Based On Condition

I want to write a LINQ to Entity query which does order by ascending or descending based on input parameter, Is there any way for that. Following is the my code.

public List<Hosters_HostingProviderDetail> GetPendingApproval(SortOrder sortOrder)
{
List<Hosters_HostingProviderDetail> returnList = new List<Hosters_HostingProviderDetail>();
int pendingStateId = Convert.ToInt32(State.Pending);
//If the sort order is ascending
if (sortOrder == SortOrder.ASC)
{
var hosters = from e in context.Hosters_HostingProviderDetail
where e.ActiveStatusID == pendingStateId
orderby e.HostingProviderName ascending
select e;
returnList = hosters.ToList<Hosters_HostingProviderDetail>();
return returnList;
}
else
{
var hosters = from e in context.Hosters_HostingProviderDetail
where e.StateID == pendingStateId
orderby e.HostingProviderName descending
select e;
returnList = hosters.ToList<Hosters_HostingProviderDetail>();
return returnList;
}
}
