Is there any way to sort an entity collection (after fetching it) by two (or more) fields?

I can only see a way to sort it by one... and doing two sorts one after another doesn't help either. Thanks.

Assuming VS2005 and LLBLGen 2.0, you can use an EntityView2 and specify a sorter.

see the thread at http://www.llblgen.com/tinyforum/Messages.aspx?ThreadID=7316&StartAtMessage=0#40235 for one way of doing it.

Be sure that you really "care" that the entitycollection itself is sorted. The EntityView as a view on a collection is probably the best solution in many cases.

Sorry I should have mentioned... It's LLBLGen Pro Version 1.0.2005.1 Final. In conjunction with C# & ASP.NET 2.0

There is no built in way of doing it in 1.0.2005.1 Maybe you want to develop the sorting logic yourself, create a method that takes an entityCollection and returns the sorted one.
