Sort a datagrid / gridview by more than one field / column (in 7.5.2)

Hey guys,
I'm trying to sort a data grid (Account:Contacts) by more than one field, let's say Status then LastName.
I've tried the following in a Code Snippet Action Item (Note: using System.Web.UI.WebControls) :
GridView grid = (GridView)form.grdAccountContacts.NativeControl;
string sortExpression = "Status,LastName";
SortDirection sortDirection = SortDirection.Ascending;
grid.Sort(sortExpression, sortDirection);
This results in an error, "could not resolve property: Status,LastName of: Sage.SalesLogix.Entities.Contact". Fair enough. But how are we supposed to sort by more than one column if this is not a valid sort expression? Because it is a valid sort expression for a gridview, so says MSDN.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.gridview.sort.aspx
Am I missing something here?
Thanks,
Alec D |

I must admit I have never tried using two - but underneath the gridview is the entity model, which will try to tie any values you pass to it to a valid property. It is not clever enough to delimit comma separated properties. The samples on the page you provide use a sqldatasource so behaves differently. We are working with an objectdatasource in SLX remember.
Having not faced this problem myself I am struggling to suggest anything....maybe try would googling "sorting with multiple columns on an objectdatasource"....
Thanks,
Nick
