Does anyone know of a way to sort a column which isnt databound or an
actual field in the database, but is derived from a method?
IE. I have a grid showing stats for softball, with a calculated field
called AVG, I want to be able to sort based on AVG when they click on
AVG.
I can't seem to find a way to do this out there.
Thanks!
I'm having trouble getting it not to sort a column. Here is a simple
