        {
            using (var databaseContext = new DatabaseContext())

                    Console.WriteLine("Name: " + product.Name);
                    Console.WriteLine("Price: " + product.Price);
                    Console.WriteLine("Quantity: " + product.Quantity);

                    Console.WriteLine("Category Id: " + product.CategoryId);
                    Console.WriteLine("---------------------");

You can use combination of OrderByDescending method and Where method as below:

using EntityFrameworkCore_ConsoleApp.Models;

namespace EntityFrameworkCore_ConsoleApp
{
    public class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using (var databaseContext = new DatabaseContext())
            {
                var products = databaseContext.Products.Where(product => product.Status).OrderByDescending(product => product.Price).ToList();
                products.ForEach(product =>
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Id: " + product.Id);
                    Console.WriteLine("Name: " + product.Name);
                    Console.WriteLine("Price: " + product.Price);
                    Console.WriteLine("Quantity: " + product.Quantity);
                    Console.WriteLine("Description: " + product.Description);
                    Console.WriteLine("Status: " + product.Status);
                    Console.WriteLine("Photo: " + product.Photo);
                    Console.WriteLine("Created: " + product.Created.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy"));
                    Console.WriteLine("Category Id: " + product.CategoryId);
                    Console.WriteLine("---------------------");
                });
            }
