Sort a list of elements based on string value in element

I have a list of arrays that have a value called status. I want to sort these by placing the arrays with the "Active" status to the front of the list. This is to display the active elements first in a later function. Any good ideas how to sort and place the active "contracts" first?

IEnumerable<Contract> mappedContracts = MapContractsToContracts(contracts);
mappedContracts.OrderBy(x => x.Status == "Active");
return mappedContracts.ToList();

>Solution :

Presuming Status is a string and not other statuses are alphabetically before "Active".

IEnumerable<Contract> mappedContracts = MapContractsToContracts(contracts);
return mappedContracts
    .OrderBy(x => x.Status)
    .ToList();
