Property Value
Type: System::StringA sort expression that is used by a data source control to sort data. The default value is an empty string ("").
The OnFieldChanged method is called to raise a state change event when the SortExpression property is set.
The value of the SortExpression property is stored in view state. Controls such as the GridView control have a built-in sorting feature that automatically sets this property. This property is typically used only when you need to programmatically determine the column or columns being sorted or when you are adding your own custom sorting functionality to, for example, a GridView control.
When multiple columns are sorted, this property contains a comma-separated list of the fields by which to sort.
