Hi everyone,
A question for those in the know....why is a change in the ordering of
data within a grid achieved by reissuing the SQL to the server and
downloading all the data again in the new order, rather than just applying
the sorting algorithm to the grid control. If it were done the latter way,
it seems it would be faster (no extra network traffic), and also easier to
implement custom sorting algorithms. Or am I forgetting something?

I'd like to sort data in columns using text suffixes, eg
82 pF
120 pF
0.1 nF
470 nF
1000 uF
etc., which I could implement if there was a virtual '<' operator I could
overload for the grids' sorting procedure.

Cheers,
Steve
