Has anyone had a go at creating a view that sorts a collection? The ICollectionView interface is present, and it claims to have the same responsibilities as its WPF / SL counterpart (sorting, paging, filtering), however, unless I have missed something, there are no sort
methods / properties on the interface.

I would be interested to find out how to take a collection of items then sort them via a view in WinRT.

Note, I know I can do this manually, however, I want to see how a sorted collection interacts with the WinRT theme transitions that appear to add visual effects when sorting is performed.

    Unfortunately, there’s no support for sorting a collection view in Win8 (nor filtering or grouping). The only way to do this is to manipulate the data source directly, then assign it to Source property.

    This has been discussed as an improvement for the post-Win8 timeframe. Wish I had better news 🙂
