I think you should sort the items before adding/binding to the
combobox. For example, you could use Array.Sort, ArrayList.Sort, or
using DataView if you are binding DataSet to the combobox. There are
also Array.Reserve and ArrayList.Reserve method for you to change the
order if neccesary.

What is the best way dump the contents of the ComboBox into an ArrayList?

I have an unbound ComboBox and I want to sort this combo in either
direction.

This is the easiest way if the items implements IComparable (for
example: strings):
ArrayList list = ArrayList.Adapter(comboBox1.Items);
list.Sort();
To reverse, call list.Reverse();
