Encrypt info in Application or in Db engine

Hi
We are encrypting different fields in our MySql database. This is done in the C# code. We are going to start encrypting more fields but the problem is then to run the queries (sorting and so on). What is the best approach here - is the best way to use the encrypt/decrypt methods in the MySql instead or how do you usually do it? Database engine or application layer?
