You're using a ListOf your class so you need to create a custom function for handling sorting in GridView.

Here's an example on how to do it: http://www.codeproject.com/useritems...DataSource.asp

Did you download the VB example? I have implemented the same thing. It's not as difficult as it looks. Just try it out and post any problems you have along the way.

another question, can i add more functionality IE links, buttons to
the gridview, or is it better to use the repeater control?

Yes, the GridView has a TemplateField column type that you can use to put whatever you want. See here: TemplateField Class (System.Web.UI.WebControls)
