Hello,
I am attempting to write code to sort the grid using an IEnumerable object as the data source.
Basically, I just get the column that the user is sorting by and perform an ORDER BY on my IEnumerable object and then rebind it to the grid.
The issue I am running into is that when I do it this way, the arrows in the column header that denote the sort direction (ascending, descending) do not appear.
Is there a way in which I can manually get the arrows to appear?
Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave,
I suggest that you bind the grid through its NeedDataSource event and assign to its DataSource the "raw" data. Then allow the grid to perform the sorting through its built-in mechanisms.
Otherwise, let us know why you what to return the data sorted yourself?
