Frans:

I have a feature request for the LLBLGenDataSource control. I'd like to be able to specify the sort order declaratively. My concept is that you would have a SortParameters collection similar to the SelectParameters collection. I'd settle for a simple column and direction list.

<SortParameters>    
        <llblGen:SortParameter ColumnName="SurName" Direction="ASC" />
        <llblGen:SortParameter ColumnName="GivenName" Direction="ASC" />
        <llblGen:SortParameter ColumnName="Birthdate" Direction="DESC" />
 </SortParameters>

I know you are limited by MS in terms of capabilities and documentation but I'm hoping this sort of thing could be done. It would be another step in reducing the amount of .NET coding.

I have to check out how to get the HTML tags emitted into the HTML and how to have asp.net convert them back into real data, but other than that, it's a nice feature. I'm not sure if it will make v2.1 though, as these set of features are finalized and we're busy with this set now so adding new features to that list will only delay the release, but I'll add it to the todo list

I didn't know anything about 2.1. Is there a feature list yet? (heart rate increases in anticipation)

Not publicly yet v2.1 is planned to go beta at the end of q1 2007 .

Hello,

Just to let know about another user that would appreciate that feature !
