Sort By Start Date

[Ray S via .NET 247]

Hi,
I am trying to sort articles based on Start Date. Since we areusing Content Management Server I have to use ChannelItem class(and so ChannelItem.Sta rtDate property). Earlier we were usingChannelIte m.SortOrdinal property to sort by Ordinal value. Hereis the code for that-

protected void SortItems() {
try {
// Retrieve the channel.
_thisChannel = GetCurrentChann el();
// Retrieve each form element corresponding to postings in thechannel.
ChannelAndPosti ngCollection colItems = _thisChannel.Al lChildren;
int numItems = colItems.Count;
string itemGuid;
HierarchyItem currItem;
ChannelItem currChannelItem ;
Posting p = CMSHelper.GetCh annelProperties Posting(_thisCh annel);
for (int i = 0 ; i < numItems; i++) {
itemGuid = Request.Form[Convert.ToStrin g(i,Thread.Curr entThread.Curre ntCulture)];
if (itemGuid != null) {
currItem = CmsHttpContext. Current.Searche s.GetByGuid(ite mGuid);
if ((currItem != null) && (currItem is ChannelItem) &&(currItem.Can SetProperties)) {
currChannelItem = (ChannelItem)cu rrItem;
currChannelItem .SortOrdinal = numItems - i - 1;
}
}
}
Can anyone help me with this please. Even if you can guide me tosort by Start Date will help.
Thank you.
