Unfortunately its a bit rubbish!!
we call a service and get a dataset returned .. all the columns are typed as string
i was hoping that the string would automatically cast as a date if we typed the column as a date
the date format is 27/05/2010 for example
the issue i'm having is when we try and sort by the column .. as it is it doesnt sort as a date would

Hello,
Casting one type to other will not convert anything. You need to create DateTime from this string to achieve your goal.
