Apparently, this is not possible. I was looking for the same thing and I am not sure why no one would have thought this was an important feature. Here is the link to the original question and the answer from a Microsoft Rep. <a href="http://www.webnewsgroups.net/vbnet/t25706-vb2005-sort-datagridview-text-formattedvalue-combobox-column-instead-underlying-value.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.webnewsgroups.net/vbnet/t25706-vb2005-sort-datagridview-text-formattedvalue-combobox-column-instead-underlying-value.aspx</a> <blockquote> Hi Matt, Thank you for posting. If you have a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn in your DataGridView, you have to set the DataSource of the DataGridView to populate data in it. That's to say, you must bind the DataGridView to a datasource. If you set the SortMode of the DataGridViewComoboBoxColumn to Automatic, you can sort this column by clicking it. The sorting is based on the cells' value in the column, not the FormattedValue. If you want to sort this column based on the FormattedValue, it seems that you have to customize the sorting. There're several options for custom sort of DataGridView. These options are listed below. 1. Calling DataGridView.Sort(DataGridViewColumn,ListSortDirection) method 2. Handling with the DataGridView's SortCompare event 3. Calling DataGridView.Sort(IComparer) method You can refer to the below link for more information on the above three options: <a href="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms171608(d=ide).aspx" rel="nofollow">http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms171608(d=ide).aspx</a> <ol> <li>Using DataView and set the its Sort property</li> </ol> You can refer to he below link for more information on the option4: <a href="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.dataview.sort(d=ide).as" rel="nofollow">http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.dataview.sort(d=ide).as</a> px It seems that only option2 and option3 could be applied to sort the DataGridViewComboBoxColumn based on the FormattedValue. However, these two options only apply under the condition that the DataGridView is NOT bounded to a DataSource. So in my opinion, it is impossible to sort a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn based on the FormattedValue. If you have other concerns, please don't hesitate to let me know.

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.
