I've got a simple module that is basically going to just display a list of data from a table, ordered by date. It would also be good if the table could be paged. Data can't be edited.

My most pressing question is how I could sort the data in the repeater?

My source table has a DateTime column called "Date" which is exposed via DAL2 to the application. I can stick the date in the repeater control I'm using, but can't sort by it.

Any tips?

I am a total beginner at DotNetNuke, but quite experienced programmer.

Dylan.

DAL2 returns an iEnumberable object. Why don't you use some LINQ to sort?

IEnumerable contacts = GetMyContacts();

myServerControl.DataSource = contacts.OrderBy(c => c.LastName).ThenBy(c => c.FirstName);
myServerControl.DataBind();

Thanks for the idea, Will.

It is a while since I had this issue, and I resolved it (for the moment) by using a jquery plugin. It works, for now, but as the size of the data grows I will have problems and need to introduce some paging.

The data for my specific instance is not core DNN data, but rather custom data created for my module to use. Would DAL2 still give me an iEnumerable? I've fallen back on just using LINQ for all this data access.
