Two way sorting in GridView using Object Data Source

[Ram]

Hi All,

I am using Object Data Source to bind data in the gridview. I have
set the property AllowSorting=true. While running the application, I
could sort the data only in ascending order. Is there any way to
achieve two way sorting in gridview ie. both ascending and descending
on successive clicks ?.

Please give me a suggestion to solve this issue. Thanks in advance.


Expecting u'r answers,

Yes you can. Take a look at the ObjectDataSource I develop in my
article at the following post. (on MSDN also) It shows how to use ODS
for both directions of sorting. It's got an example and explanation.

Very powerful!
