Your third attempt is almost right: What you need to do is create an extra column in your DataSet to store the value of the DisplayMember. Then, you create an invisible bound DataGridViewColumn, and bind it to this extra DataSet column. Then it's a bound column, and you can programmatically sort on it.

The question you've linked to is doing the same, only that solution is generating the display member text in SQL, before it's returned to the application.

You'd think this'd be simple, wouldn't you? :)
