Sorting the grid view.

[mike55]

I have a grid view that is binded to a dataset. I am trying to implement sorting on the grid.

I have succeeded in allowing sort to occur, the only problem that I am having is to specify what sort option, i.e. ASC or DECS to tuser. Here is the code that I am using:

    Protected Sub gVGroups2_Sorting(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewSortEventArgs) Handles gVGroups2.Sorting
        Dim myView As DataView
        dsData = Session("GridData")
        myView = dsData.Tables("Groups").DefaultView

        Select Case e.SortDirection
            Case SortDirection.Ascending
                myView.Sort = "Group_Name DESC"
                e.SortDirection = SortDirection.Descending
            Case SortDirection.Descending
                myView.Sort = "Group_Name ASC"
                e.SortDirection = SortDirection.Ascending
        End Select

        Me.gVGroups2.DataSource = myView
        Me.gVGroups2.DataBind()
    End Sub

Can anyone suggest a simple way of storing the sort order. I dont want to use an external textbox/label to store the current sort order.
