You should pass your `AccountListFilterModel` to the view, either via `model` or using `ViewBag`\`ViewData`.
Using the latter approach:
**In your controller:**
public ViewResult Index(AccountListFilterModel accountListFilter)
{
ViewBag.Filter = accountListFilter;
}
**In your view** (you can delete the code at the top of the view, that uses `Request` to get parameters.
<a style="@(ViewBag.Filter.currentSortOrder == "UserName desc" ? "" : "display:none;")" ... />
It's a general rule of thumb that your view should not contain any logic at all, your controller should supply all the data that the view needs.
