[RESOLVED] VB.Net 2008 Sort DataGridViewTextBoxColumn Numeric values

I’m using VB.Net 2008 application program.

I’m using DataGridView, where column types DataGridViewTextBoxColumn. I have 3 fields. 1 field values are numeric, 1 field values are string and 1 field values are decimal.

When I try to sort the string value column, it sorts correctly. But when i try to sort the numeric value column, it sorts as if its string value.

I searched a lot to make it sort numerically. But I couldn’t find it.

If you know how i can sort that column, please help me. If you can provide an example, that will be so helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Have you defined the column as int32?

i tried to recreate your problem...
as Skilleddreamer said, you must be adding the numeric (integer?) values as strings.

here's the code i used to add some rows to my dgv, which sorts correctly:

vb Code:

Public Class Form1
 
    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Dim strings() As String = {"one", "two", "three", "four", "five"}
        For x As Integer = 1 To 50
            DataGridView1.Rows.Add(x, strings((x - 1) Mod 5), CDec(x + 0.5))
        Next
    End Sub
 
End Class

Thanks Skilleddreamer and Paul for your help. it's working.

As you mentioned while adding data to column, somehow i converted that to string. once i removed that, it's working fine and start sorting.

Thanks a lot for your help...
