Question

I am having issues with the RadListBox not sorting no idea why. I want to sort by name. I have something like this

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
         BindItems();
       }



protected void BindItems()
{
    lstItems.Items.Clear();

    lstItems.DataSource = ItemsAdmin.GetItems();

    lstItems.DataTextField = "Name";
    lstItems.DataValueField = "ItemID";
    lstItems.Sort = RadListBoxSort.Ascending;
    lstItems.SortItems();  
    lstItems.DataBind();       
}

Thank you

Why don’t you sort the data source by yourself, e.g:

lstItems.DataSource = ItemsAdmin.GetItems().OrderBy(item => item.Name);

Update (re your comment): I’m not familiar with DataTable. Maybe you have to create a DataView then:

DataView view = new DataView(ItemsAdmin.GetItems(), "",
    "Name", // sort by Name
    DataViewRowState.CurrentRows);
lstItems.DataSource = view;
