Anyone know of a way to perform Multi-column sorting with the
DataGridView?

This is done via the underlying DataSource. If, for example, your
DataGridView is using a BindingSource linked to a DataView of a DataTable,
you can set the Sort property of the BindingSource. This property is a
string, which can contain a single column name, or a comma-delimited list of
column names. See:

Ok. But if you don't have an underlying DataSource, you are hosed,
right? I think I found another way.
