I have a template column that represents a checkbox. The checkbox is filled in on a databind, from a list. The other columns come from a sqldatasource.
I need to sort the column based upon whether it's checked or not. I can't find an easy way to dynamically adjust the sort expression (it won't bind).
???
Thanks,
Nick H

Since your template columns are not bound directly from the sqldatasource control, you can not perform declarative sorting for that column as in this demo (see the last column).
Instead the quickest turnaround that comes to my mind is to have a hidden bound column in the grid with the same true/false values and sort on that column. Other solution would be to perform your own custom sorting on some other criteria - check out this example for a start.
