Sorting datagrid?

[Joris De Groote]

Hi,

I have created a webpage with a datagrid. The page fills in the datagrid
after the user selected some things (it's a searchpage). Now the page show
everything from an SQL server sorted on productnumber.
How can I let the users change the sorting of the documents without always
having to get the data again from the SQL server?

Thanks
Joris

Well you can't really unless you store the data in something like a session
variable or a cookie but this would be much less efecient than getting the
data again from the SQL server. Let SQL server do the sort, it's what it is
designed to do and it will do it much better than anything client side could.

You can always Cache your data and then sort it client-side. However as
clickon said SQL server is more efficient in sorting

create a dataset(ds)
put some data

create a sort string
(i.e. sortString = "ProductNameColumn desc")

now do this
ds.Tables[0].DefaultView.Sort = sortString;
PagedDataSource objPage = new PagedDataSource();
objPage.DataSource = ds.Tables[0].DefaultView;
MailsList.DataSource = objPage;
