Howdy All,

I have a GridView control on a page and I want to give the user the
ability to sort using the colums or using a dropdown. Is there an
easy way to tell the grid to sort based on a column? Or do I have to
manually sort the datasource and rebind it to the grid?

Thanks

Yes, sorting involves binding the grid with data in the sorted order.

Teemu,

My situation is that the grid has sorting turned on and sorting works
fine. But my client also wants to be able to sort from a drop down.
I was hoping that there was some event on the grid that I could call
and pass the column that sorting is wanted on.

What you are saying is that I will have to manually sort the
datasource and then rebind?
