How can I make GridView columns sortable with XmlDataSource

Question

User-544808552 posted

I am trying to find a way to make a GridView sortable using an XmlDataSource.  I know I can add xsl:sort to my xlst, but, I am not sure how to bind this function to a GridView sort event.  Any links would be greatly appreciated.

If you're using jQuery you can use this plugin:

After more research it appears that the XmlDataSource and GridView do not easily allow for sorting.  I decided to switch to a GridView/ObjectDataSource approach.  Thanks Steve for the link.  So far, I am trying to avoid getting into jQuery, but, will check out that link in testing.
