Remarks

Use the SortDirection property to determine whether the column being sorted is sorted in ascending or descending order.

Note

The GridView control has a built-in sorting feature that automatically sets this property. This property is typically used only when you need to programmatically determine the sort direction or when you are adding your own custom sorting functionality to a GridView control.
