Sort a string column by datetime in a DataTable

Question

I am trying to sort a DataTable on a string column by DateTime.

For various reasons, the column must be left as a string

Answer 1

Try Add while create DataTable

    table.Columns.Add("dateValue", typeof(DateTime?));

    var orderedRows = from row in dt.AsEnumerable()
                      orderby  row.Field("Date")
                      select row; 
    DataTable tblOrdered = orderedRows.CopyToDataTable();

(Or)

 var orderedRows = from row in dt.AsEnumerable()
                      let date = DateTime.Parse(row.Field("Date"), CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
                      orderby date 
                      select row;
