Sorting datalist records horizontally

[Haydn Williams]

Hi,

I have a load of records in a datalist, where RepeatColumns=3. The records are sorted by a
particular field, and the sort order runs down the first column, then jumps to the top of the second
column, down that and then jumps to the top of the third column. Is there any easy way to make the
records run horizontally (ie left-to-right across the first row, then the second row and so on),
rather than vertically as they are now?

Cheers,
H

Yes there is.

Set the RepeatDirection property to horizontal.
