WPF Sorting an ObservableCollection de-selects a ComboBox

Question

I have a ComboBox where a user can select what JobType they are working on. The ComboBox has a list of AllJobTypes. The problem stems from when a user adds a new JobType,

Answer 1

Instead of sorting the collection in the view model, you should bind the ComboBox's ItemsSource to a CollectionViewSource, where you can specify a SortDescription:

    
        
            
                
            
        
    

    ...
    
    ...
