gridview ordering

[bouwob]

I have a generic gridview that is used in many reports.

For it to work I bind a datatable to the gridview. The problem I am having is that the columns that hold numbers sort by string instead of int. I cannot chage the control itself since many different reports with many different types of data use the same control.

Hold do I force the sort to sort by int instead of string via the bind or set up of the datasource?

the data columns should have the datatype set to the appropriate data type. then, use the dataview to sort and bind to the grid.
