Sort order problem

Vote:
 
I have a template that includes a date-element, kind of like the Starting-date used in calendar. I want to be able to sort these elements based on this date-element. How do I do this? Is there a way I can add my date-element to the standard dropdown-list setting sorting order? Thanx in advance! Frank

Nevermind! Sometimes I post my problem before I start thinking. Of course, the PageList can be used for this task. Have a nice one! Frank

It's in the SDK. PageListData class (base class for most of the listcontrols), property SortBy. Takes a PropertyName, sort the list based on that. Works together with SortDirection were you can select Ascending or Descending. /Håkan

Ok I was thinking more along the lines of some code that might help someone having problems with sorting... anyway, here's some for the noobs: PageDataCollection oPages = Global.EPDataFactory.FindPagesWithCriteria(p, col); oPages.Add (GetPage(p)); FilterSort sorter; if (sortOrder == _ASC) sorter = new FilterSort(FilterSortOrder.PublishedAscending); else sorter = new FilterSort(FilterSortOrder.PublishedDescending); sorter.Sort(oPages);

Sorry for not including code, but the solution was so simple I thought I was the only one not seeing it. Anyways, I used the PageList like this: Frank
