How do I Keep Razor Page Sort in mvc?

Question

Hi guys,
I'm doing a basic Movie MVC application. I have a sorting that will display movies in the order of there 
MovieId on the Home page, in the view, there is a link you can press to rearrange the movies alphabetically based on the Movie Name. However when I go to another Page and later return, the Sorting will always go back to being organised by MovieId, is there
anyway to be able to keep the sorting as alphabetical if I leave and return to the Home Page?
public class HomeController : Controller
private MovieDb db = new MovieDb();
public ActionResult Index(string sort, string Search_Data)
{ //Variable sort for sorting
IQueryable<Movie> movie = db.Movies;
ViewBag.SortingName = String.IsNullOrEmpty(sort) ? "Name_Description" : "";
//Search bar
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(Search_Data))
movie = movie.Where(s => s.MoviesName.Contains(Search_Data));
//Search bar
var albu = from alb in db.Movies select alb;
albu = albu.Where(alb => alb.MoviesName.ToUpper().Contains(Search_Data.ToUpper()));
//Sorting in switch
switch (sort)
case "Name_Description":
movie = movie.OrderBy(alb => alb.MoviesName);
break;
default:
movie = movie.OrderBy(alb => alb.MovieID);
break;
return View(movie.ToList());
public ActionResult Details(int id = 0)
Movie m = db.Movies.Find(id);
if (m == null)
return HttpNotFound();
else
//HEY SHOW ME ACTORS
m.Actors = (from e in db.Actors
where e.MovieID.Equals(id)
select e).ToList();
//m.Actors.Count();
return View(m);
#region Create Movie
public ActionResult Create()
return View();
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult Create(Movie movie)
if (ModelState.IsValid)
db.Movies.Add(movie);
db.SaveChanges();
return RedirectToAction("Index");
return View(movie);
#endregion
#region Edit Movie
public ActionResult Edit(int id)
Movie movie = db.Movies.Find(id);
if (movie == null)
return HttpNotFound();
return View(movie);
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult Edit(Movie movie)
if (ModelState.IsValid)
db.Entry(movie).State = EntityState.Modified;
db.SaveChanges();
return RedirectToAction("Index");
return View(movie);
#endregion
#region Delete Movie
public ActionResult Delete(int id)
Movie movie = db.Movies.Find(id);
return View(movie);
[HttpPost, ActionName("Delete")]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult DeleteConfirmed(int id)
Movie movie = db.Movies.Find(id);
db.Movies.Remove(movie);
db.SaveChanges();
return RedirectToAction("Index");
#endregion

How about save the way of sorting as a value in the cookie, When you need to go back the web page then you can read the data from the cookie.
