How to enable DataGridView sorting when user clicks on the column header?

Question

I have a datagridview on my form and I populate it with this:

dataGridView1.DataSource = students.Select(s => new { ID = s.StudentId, RUDE = s.RUDE, Nombr         


        

Answer 1

I have a BindingList<> object bind as a data source to dataGridView.

BindingList x1;
x1 = new BindingList();
BindingSource bsx1 = new BindingSource();
bsx1.DataSource = x1;
dataGridView1.DataSource = bsx1;

When I clicked the column header, no sorting takes place. I used the SortableBindingList answer provided by Tom Bushell. Having included two source files into my project

1. SortableBindingList.cs
2. PropertyComparer.cs

Then this change is made to my code:

Be.Timvw.Framework.ComponentModel.SortableBindingList x1;                       // 1
x1 = new Be.Timvw.Framework.ComponentModel.SortableBindingList(); // 2
BindingSource bsx1 = new BindingSource();
bsx1.DataSource = x1;
dataGridView1.DataSource = bsx1;

After these changes I performed a build on my program. I am now able to sort by clicking the column headers. Only two lines need changing, they are highlighted in the code snippet above by trailing comments.
