Sorting child records in a repeater

[news.microsoft.com]

<asp:Repeater id="rptCourseDe tail2" runat="server"
datasource='<%#
((DataRowView)C ontainer.DataIt em).Row.GetChil dRows("CourseDe tailRelation")
%>'
EnableViewState ="false"

I am having troubles trying to sort child records that appear in a
repeater..... Above is the code that i use for the BINDIng...

.... Before binding i sort the dataset and it sorts correctly... however it
seels that the GetChildRows messes up the sorting routines...

has anyone had this before?

what do i need to do to get this working? Do i need to then sort the results
of GetChildRows? If so how can i sort an datarow array by a specific colomn?

any help would be good..

Darren,
If you check out my tutorial on databinding, you should be something helpful
in the sample code. If you open NestedRepeaterW ithItemDataBoun d.aspx and
the codebehind, you'll see an alternative way of databinding a nested
repeater...the code is:

rpt.DataSource =
((DataRowView)e .Item.DataItem) .CreateChildVie w("CustomerOrde rs")
rpt.DataBind();

CreateChildView returns a DataView, which you can easily filter...

DataView dv =
((DataRowView)e .Item.DataItem) .CreateChildVie w("CustomerOrde rs");
dv.Sort = "COLUMN ASC";
rpt.DataSource = dv;
rpt.DataBind();

Something like this is probably your best bet
