Remembering Sort Order on WinForms DataGrid

Hello,

Is it possible to retrieve and set the sort order for a DataGrid
control on a WinForm? I had a user request this functionality, and I
can't seem to find a place to set and retrieve it from. Am I missing
something, or is this something that is more difficult to do than is
worth the time?

Thanks in advance!

Joseph,

Your surely miss something because it is easy to do.

For that is the DataView or the DefaultView. Which is a view on a datatable.
In that DataView or Defaultview there is a property Sort. You can set that
while you can get the current value if a user changes that by clicking at
the top of the grid.

myDataTable.Defaultview.Sort = "MySecondColumn"

I hope this helps,

Cor

Cor,

Yep. Missed the obvious. I knew that if I stepped away from it and
asked, it would save me a lot of aggrevation in the long run.

Thank you for helping me conserve what little hair I have left!
