Binding Data to DropDown List from Database in Alphabetical order

53
Hi,

I have a problem with binding data to dropdownlist from database in alphabetical order.
My database contains some fields like All,Air,Airline,Books,Cars etc.
There are 2 dropdown lists one dropdown contains A to Z list like A,B,C,D..Z.
2nd list contains above items like All,Air,Books.Now I want that when I select A from A-Z list it will display A items in alphabetical order and the Top item should be "All" after that remaining items.But if I display items in alphabetical order All is displaying like Air,Airline,All.Can anybody help me to resolve the problem.

Thanks in advance

Why not just sort the data and then initially set the selected index to "All"?
