Sort a BindingList

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hello:

I want to know the best way to sort a BindingList without needed to
turn it into a DataTable. Of course, my BindingList is being used
indirectly by a BindingSource.

So, how do I sort a BindingList of my custom business objects? For
instance, when the user clicks on a column header of a DataGridView, I
would like sorting to be handled for me (or to call a custom sort
method I provide).

If this isn't supported, that would be good to know.

Thanks,
Travis
