Hi

Not directly. You could iterate through the list of=20
postings and store their custom property values in a=20
DataTable. You can then use a DataView to sort the list in=20
whatever order you like.

Something like this:
PostingCollection pc =3D c.Postings;

//put information about the postings in a table
DataTable dt =3D new DataTable();
=20
dt.Columns.Add("Name",System.Type.GetType
("System.String"));			=09
dt.Columns.Add("PromotionStartDate",System.Type.GetType
("System.DateTime"));
=09
DataRow newRow;
for (int i=3D0; i<pc.Count; i++)
{
//add a new row to the table for each posting in=20
the list
newRow =3D dt.NewRow();

//add the name
newRow["Name"] =3D pc[i].Name;

//add the date
newRow["PromotionStartDate"] =3D DateTime.Parse(pc
[i].CustomProperties["PromoDate"].Value);

//add the new row to the table
dt.Rows.Add(newRow);
}
=09
//bind the table to the datagrid
DataView dv =3D dt.DefaultView;
dv.Sort =3D "PromotionStartDate desc";
myDataGrid.DataSource =3D dv;
myDataGrid.DataBind();

I think i couldn't sort directly from custom properties or placeholders.
Your options is an approach i didn't think off.

Thanks.
