    Sort Direction in ObjectDataSource?

    Hey all,
    In objectdatasourc e there is a property called sortExpression which is
    used in many "custom sorting" applications. My question: is there a
    sortDirection property? I can't seem to find a reference to one, but
    otherwise, how does a gridview (for instance) know which direction to
    sort by when default sorting is used?

    Any links or comments are appreciated. Thanks

      Hello ASF,

      GridView has the SortDirection property for that
      Look at that article where it describes in details http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/012308-1.aspx

          Thanks for the response Michael. I read the article and it's update
          version and I just want to ensure I'm totally clear on something. Am I
          right in believing that the objectdatasourc e has properties to support
          one-way sorting but NOT bi-directional sorting? I.E., there is no
          sortdirection in objectdatasourc e?
