I am displaying a dataset using a Repeater. I would like to allow the user
to click on a column header and have the data sort by that column. How do I
go about this?

Does anyone know of any example code?

Many thanks.

You will have to hand code this functionality, as there is no built in
mechanism, like the DataGrid.

To do so, the easiest method is link buttons in the header template that
have the field name and then resorting the DataTable in that order.

Thanks. In that case can I get the advantage of Repeater (in this case
formatting of the data in each column) in a datagrid?
