Question

Simple gridview.
SqlData source to bind data to gridview.
A column called Date ( type date ) where I add the date when I edited something.

I would like to sort the entire gridview columns by the date column.

Any idea how can I do that?

THanks

1. As this is a Page level problem. So you can first keep the GridView DataSource in ViewState
2. Keep a hyperlink like control in your header and during Postback retrieve the data from ViewState. Sort it according to the required parameter . Bind it again to the GridView.
