In MS SQL Server 2000 on back end and on front end i tried to to show the data while accessing data from table i was trying to sort date in descending order but it shows below invalid order.
4/10/2008
4/10/2008
4/10/2008
4/15/2008
4/15/2008
4/9/2008
4/9/2008
4/9/2008
9/10/2007
the exact order that i wants was
4/9/2008
4/9/2008
4/9/2008
4/10/2008
4/10/2008
4/10/2008
4/15/2008
4/15/2008
9/10/2007
which was not coming in front so me for this i tried the blow methods.
Even i used below code in c# to sort my data table before its display but still sorting is not valid.
C# //datatable is populated before all the below lines
//we can assign datatable as DataScource to data grid and bind also
//but the result will be the same as i discussed in this pose
DataView dv = datatable.DefaultView;
dv.Sort = "TaskDate";
// "TaskDate" is column of datatable
this.dgTaskReport.DataSource = dv;
this.dgTaskReport.DataBind();
//dgTaskReport is data grid name
But actually i was populating the datatable using stored procedure and in my stored procedure i was getting the date as it so the stored procedure was taking date as string now i converted the date into exact date formate so the sorting is fine as i want.
stored procedure is as under
TSQLIF EXISTS (SELECT name FROM sysobjects WHERE name = 'spBookTask' AND type = 'P') DROP PROCEDURE spBookTaskGOCREATE PROCEDURE spBookTask ( @bookid varchar(50))ASSELECT dbo.ufn_GetDateOnly(tblTaskSheet.TaskDate) as TaskDateFROM tblTaskDetailsWHERE (tblTaskDetails.BookId = @bookid)Order by convert(varchar(16), tblTaskDetails.TaskDate, 101) ascGOspBookTask '10003'Regards.
