Hi,

you can try this one.

C#

DataTable dt = new DataTable();
            dt.Columns.Add("Value1", typeof(string));
            dt.Columns.Add("Value2", typeof(string));
 
            dt.Rows.Add("viprat", 7);
            dt.Rows.Add("Test2", 5);
            dt.Rows.Add("abcd", 2);
 
            DataView dv = new DataView(dt);
            dv.Sort = "Value1 ASC, Value2 DESC";

Solution 1

SQL

Select *from Employees order by EmpID,EmpName

Put order by clause and write all columnNames seperated by comma.
