    <p>I am trying to Sort a DataView in C#. It seems the Sort method of DataView Class takes the dates as strings.</p> <p>In the output am getting this -</p> <pre><code>5/9/2013 4:56:38 PM 5/8/2013 4:23:06 PM 5/8/2013 1:38:21 PM 5/7/2013 9:55:30 PM 5/7/2013 7:54:45 PM 5/7/2013 7:44:10 PM 5/7/2013 7:44:10 PM 5/7/2013 12:26:38 PM 5/7/2013 1:44:06 PM 5/6/2013 4:08:54 PM 5/6/2013 10:32:49 AM 5/4/2013 7:54:23 PM 5/4/2013 12:57:21 PM 5/3/2013 3:49:03 PM 5/3/2013 3:49:03 PM 5/3/2013 2:06:12 PM 5/3/2013 11:19:34 AM 5/3/2013 11:03:32 AM 5/3/2013 1:58:38 PM 5/2/2013 7:27:55 PM 5/2/2013 7:17:50 PM 5/2/2013 7:06:06 PM 5/2/2013 6:42:37 PM 5/2/2013 6:30:58 PM 5/13/2013 12:49:24 PM </code></pre> <p>This is my code.</p> <pre><code> DataTable dt; DataView dv = dt.DefaultView; dv.Sort = "MessageDate desc"; DataTable sortedDT = dv.ToTable(); foreach (DataRow row in sortedDT.Rows) { code to print. } </code></pre> <p>As you can see the last date 5/13/2013 should be at the first and not at the bottom as 5/13 > 5/9 if its a date comparison, but 5/13&lt;5/9 if you take it as a string.</p> <p>MessageDate Column is datetime in my declaration, still the compiler is converting it to String.</p> <pre><code> public struct Messages { public string ProfileId { get; set; } public string Network { get; set; } public string FromId { get; set; } public string FromName { get; set; } public string FromProfileUrl { get; set; } public DateTime MessageDate { get; set; } public string Message { get; set; } public string FbComment { get; set; } public string FbLike { get; set; } public string MessageId { get; set; } public string Type { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>Any ideas why this is happening and how I can workaround the same?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
