Hi everybody

I have a GridView control where my datasource is an ArrayList, I would like to be able to sort the grid, therefore I set the AllowSorting to true, so far so good. The ArrayList consist of a collection of Customer-objects, where the "Title" (a string) is the name of the Customer.

Below is my sourcecode for the Sorting event and the control itself, I don't know what is wrong, but when I click a column to sort I get an: System.StackOverflowException was unhandled

Can anyone please show an example of a sorting that works with an ArrayList as datasource in a grid.

If you need any addiotnal details let me know. :o)

Thanks in advance
