Need to sort the a search result. Sorting to be done on multiple fields which are passed dynamically.

My Search query is as below.  
searchResult = \_client.Search(x =\> x  
.Index(\_commandFields.IndexName.ToLower())  
.Type(\_commandFields.Type)  
.Query(p =\> +\_commandFields.Query)  
.Size(\_commandFields.Limit)  
.Preference(\_commandFields.ReadPreference.GetDescription())  
.Scroll(\_scrollExpiryTime));

I have List\<Nest.Sort\> list which are the sortable fields.  
List lstsort = new List();  
lstsort.Add( new SortField { Field = "field1", Order = SortOrder.Descending });  
lstsort.Add( new SortField { Field = "field2", Order = SortOrder.Descending });  
lstsort.Add( new SortField { Field = "field3", Order = SortOrder.Descending });  
the above three fields (field1, field2, field3) are dynamic.

How to add this in the search request so that searchResult is in the sorted order.
