Another option is to put the ListItems into an array and sort.

        int i = 0;
        string[] array = new string[items.Count];

        foreach (ListItem li in dropdownlist.items)
        {
            array[i] = li.ToString();
            i++;

        }

        Array.Sort(array);

        dropdownlist.DataSource = array;
        dropdownlist.DataBind();
