If you do not explicitly specify sort criteria for DataView, the DataRowView objects in DataView are sorted based on the index of its corresponding DataRow in the DataTable.Rows DataRowCollection. |
For more information, see DataViews (ADO.NET).
The following example instructs the DataView to sort the table by two columns.
Private Sub SortByTwoColumns()
' Get the DefaultViewManager of a DataTable.
Dim view As DataView = DataTable1.DefaultView
' By default, the first column sorted ascending.
view.Sort = "State, ZipCode DESC"
End Sub
private void SortByTwoColumns()
{
// Get the DefaultViewManager of a DataTable.
DataView view = DataTable1.DefaultView;
// By default, the first column sorted ascending.
view.Sort = "State, ZipCode DESC";
}
