Hey all!

I have a DataGrid set up and have the XML data nice and cozy inside of it, but I have a bit of a snag...

The data I'm importing comes from a few separate files but the DataGrid ends up displaying all of them, so the rows are a bit of a jumble initially.

Is there a way to tell the DataGrid, AFTER it has all of it's data, to sort itself out alphabetically based on it's first column?

Thanks!

I don't understand what you mean. When you have xml then only one file should be the datafile.

The original data file is over 1100 items long. Editing an XML file that big is a massive pain so I broke it down into smaller chunks for sanity's sake.

The XML works fine. I'm just trying to find out how to force the DataGrid to sort after it's populated.

When I click on the first column's header, it sorts exactly as I need. Now I need to have it do that automatically so the user doesn't have to.
