Hi Peter,
Please try following code:
Aspx:
<asp:GridView PageSize="4" ID="gridView" AllowPaging="true"
AllowSorting="true"
OnPageIndexChanging="gridView_PageIndexChanging"
OnSorting="gridView_Sorting"
runat="server" />
Aspx.cs:
using System;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Data;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Security;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using System.Xml.Linq;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Reflection;
public class Customer {
public int ID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
}
public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
bool _sorted = false;
private string GridViewSortDirection
{
get
{
if (ViewState["SortDirection"] == null)
{
ViewState["SortDirection"] = "ASC";
}
return ViewState["SortDirection"].ToString();
}
set
{
ViewState["SortDirection"] = value;
}
}
private string GridViewSortExpression
{
get { return ViewState["SortExpression"] as string ?? string.Empty;
}
set { ViewState["SortExpression"] = value; }
}
protected void gridView_PageIndexChanging(object sender,
GridViewPageEventArgs e)
{
gridView.DataSource = SortList(gridView.DataSource as
List<object>,true);
gridView.PageIndex = e.NewPageIndex;
gridView.DataBind();
}
protected List<objectSortList(List<objectdata, bool
isPageIndexChanging)
{
List<objectresult = new List<object>();
if (data != null)
{
if (GridViewSortExpression != string.Empty)
{
if(data.Count>0)
{
PropertyInfo[] propertys
=data[0].GetType().GetProperties();
foreach (PropertyInfo p in propertys)
{
if (p.Name == GridViewSortExpression)
{
if (GridViewSortDirection == "ASC")
{
if (isPageIndexChanging)
{
result = data.OrderByDescending(key
=p.GetValue(key, null)).ToList();
}
else
{
result = data.OrderBy(key =>
p.GetValue(key, null)).ToList();
GridViewSortDirection = "DESC";
}
}
else
{
if (isPageIndexChanging)
{
result = data.OrderBy(key =>
p.GetValue(key, null)).ToList();
}
else
{
result = data.OrderByDescending(key
=p.GetValue(key, null)).ToList();
GridViewSortDirection = "ASC";
}
}
break;
}
}
}
}
}
_sorted = true;
return result;
}
protected void gridView_Sorting(object sender, GridViewSortEventArgs e)
{
GridViewSortExpression = e.SortExpression;
int pageIndex = gridView.PageIndex;
gridView.DataSource = SortList(gridView.DataSource as List<object>,
false);
gridView.DataBind();
gridView.PageIndex = pageIndex;
}
static Random r=new Random();
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
this.GridViewSortExpression = "ID";
}
List<objectlist = new List<object>();
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
list.Add(new Customer() { ID = i, Name = "Test"});
}
this.gridView.DataSource = list;
this.gridView.DataBind();
}
protected void Page_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (IsPostBack && !_sorted)
{
gridView.DataSource = SortList(gridView.DataSource as
List<object>, true);
gridView.DataBind();
}
}
}
Above code requires .NET Framework 3.5.
Though it can work I would strongly recommend you use ObjectDataSource. It
has built-in sorting support and is more efficient than manually binding
GridView.You can learn how to use ObjectDataSource from here:

Please let me know if my code works and feel free to ask if you need
further assistance.

| I have a GridView which is populated by List<ofObjects>
| Does anyone have example of how to sort the columns of this GridView?
|
| I have found examples without DataSourceControl but these use DataTable,
I
| am using List of Objects.

| Here's one example:
