gridview sort

[maz77]

I'm working with VisualStudio and C#, and I'll try to explain the problem...
I've built a custom class called "User.cs" that contains only Properties
with set and get methods (ex: FirstName, LastName,...), and another
custom class "UserCollection.cs" that is simply a list<User>.
If I need to show a list of Users, simply I bind a gridview with a
UserCollection and all works fine... until I try to make a sorting of
the gridview...
Is it possible to sort a gridview binded with custom class collection,
or I've no choice but to use an ObjectDataSource?

Thanks

You will have to do the sorting yourself using the IComparable Interface.
Here is a link to some info on it:

You could also use LINQ.
