I have a datagrid which displays the values from the Dataset. The Dataset
values are not sorted alphabetically. So the datagrid initially displays the
values in an unsorted manner. Only when I click on the header of the datagrid
the values are displayed in assorted manner. I want the datagrid to display the
values in alphabetical order when it is loaded with the values. Can this be
done ?
If so anyone please let me know how to do that .

If you are loading the data into the grid from a database, put an order by in your select with the order you want the grid loaded with.

ie. Select * from table
where ...(optional)
order by column1, column2 etc

sort the dataset prior to loading it into the datagrid.

Check the help files for dataset.addSort() and dataset.userSort()

Basically you will use the dataset.addSort()

dataset.addSort(name,field);
name = name you want to call this sort
filed = the field you want to sort on.

Then you call the dataset.useSort()

dataset.useSort(name)
name = what you called the sort in addSort.

Now your dataset is sorted.
