Sort DropDownList

[Samuel Shulman]

I am looking for a simple method to sort the DropDownList after it was
loaded

Thank you,

I am looking for a simple method to sort the DropDownList after it was
loaded

1) Sort the data first, then bind it to the DropDownList

2) Use client-side JavaScript:

You can also take your data to bind, and get a DataView
(DataSet.DefaultView) if a dataview is available, and then apply a sort
to the dataview.

Not sure what type of data you are binding though, perhaps if you could
inform us, we can give you some better advice.

thanks

Sean

Thanks Sean and the other fellow

I am loading the dropdown lists with Enum values defined locally so I first
read it into a DataTable and then I move the values to the DataView, sort it
and load it

Cheers,
Samuel
