Hi,tonhinbm

Try this meathod.When you sort this column the values will not be in numeric order. This example converts the string to a number and sorts based on the number.

Sub DataGridView1_SortCompare(ByVal sender As Object, _

ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewSortCompareEventArgs) _

Handles DataGridView1.SortCompare

Dim intValue1, intValue2 As Integer

If Not Integer.TryParse(e.CellValue1.ToString, intValue1) Then Return

If Not Integer.TryParse(e.CellValue2.ToString, intValue2) Then Return

If intValue1 = intValue2 Then

e.SortResult = 0

ElseIf intValue2 > intValue1 Then

e.SortResult = -1

Else

e.SortResult = 1

End If

e.Handled = True

End Sub

Hope it helps

Gavin

I'm workinkg with visual studio 2003 code, so I have to use a 'datagrid' not a 'datagridview'.
Thanks Gavin Jin.
