Winform DatagridView Numeric Column Sorting

Question

I am using just a simple DataGridView to hold a bunch of data (Funny that).

I have decimals in a particular column. But when it comes to ordering by that decimal column

Answer 1

I had the same problem. I tried using the event handler as David Hall mentioned. I used the ValueType property when defining the DataGridView. It now sorts as doubles, no custom event handler code needed

dataGridView1.Columns[int index].ValueType = typeof(double);

You can also format the column using

dataGridView2.Columns[int index].DefaultCellStyle.Format = string format;
