I have a GridView that displays file sizes in a friendly format (1024B = 1KB, etc.) but, as expected, the built in sort sorts alphabetically (so 201KB comes before 21KB).
The actual size (in bytes) of each file is stored in a hidden column for other purposes, and I apologize if this should be easier than I'm making it, but is there a quick and dirty way to have the friendly size column sort using the value of the actual size column without having to refactor and create a custom data type for this?
Thanks.

Hello Clifford,
You can make your Size column of type int and use CellFormatting event to change cell text:

| { |
| e.CellElement.Text = radGridView1.Rows[e.CellElement.RowIndex].Cells[e.CellElement.ColumnIndex].Value + "KB"; |
