How can I sort a Table into ascending or descending? VB.NET
I am currently building a table by retrieving a number and a name from an XML document and dynamically building a table. Currently, the table is built and you can check a box to choose whether or not you want to randomize the numbers that correspond to the name. I need to be able to check another box to determine whether or not you want it ascending or descending order. I don't know how to do sorts on a Table Object. Do I have to read it into an Array first and then re-read them into the table?
XML Document Example:
- <roster>
- <student>
<order>01</order>
<name>Sabrina Spark</name>
</student>
- <student>
<order>02</order>
<name>Ryan Weble</name>
</student>
- <student>
<order>03</order>
<name>Fredric Scott</name>
</student>
- <student>
<order>04</order>
<name>Cory Snyder</name>
</student>

You're going to want to sort the DataTable before your loop.

Since you are programmatic generating the table it can't be sorted as such. You can easily sort your data table and then regenerate your table. Another option would be to use one of the available data controls DataGridview for example which handle the job of generation for you and in some cases allow you to add sorting in the designer.
