Sorting a datalist

[Dufus]

Hi,

I am working with a DataList and am binding objects to it. I normally use
IList or other collections that implement the IEnumerable interface. I have
a datalist that I need to be able to sort on every column. Does anyone have
any ideas on the best way to sort a DataList?

Thanks in advance.

Use a sorted DataView for the data that the datalist is bound to and re-bind
the DataList to the DataView.

Yep, that works nicely. Thanks.
