title: How to retain selected option after form submit in asp.net mvc?
body: <p>I have a fixed option dropdownlist on my html page. It contains three options (By name, By Views, By Likes) for sorting the data displayed on page. When the value in the dropdown is changed, I am submitting the form and controller returns the updated data according to sort choice selected. But the selected option in dropdown resets to first option. How do I set the selected option in the dropdown. </p>
  
  <p>I need to submit the form and do not send the ajax request.</p>
