Hi. I have a DataGrid bound to a typed DataSet and I just couldn't figure
out how to sort the damn thing. I tried setting the Sort property of the
DataTable.DefaultView and the Attributes["SortExpr"] of the DataGrid but I
think the order of events matter. Here's a breakdown of events:

1. Page_Load:
- call my method LoadGrid( )
- call Page.DataBind( )

2. my method LoadGrid:
- set mytypeddataset = MethodThatGetsFilledDataSet( )

3. SortCommand grid event handler:
- mytypeddataset.Tables["MyTable"].DefaultView.Sort = "somesortstring"

I'm pretty sure you want binding to be the last thing that is done, i.e,
have your dataset sorted then bind it to the grid for displaying.

Yea that seems to be the problem because binding to a typed dataset happens
underneath. I just dragged and dropped a DataView object to the page and
bind from that object. The solved it. Thanks.
