CategoryList sorted by name
protected DataTable GetSortedCategories(string parentCategoryName)
{
DataTable returnValue = new DataTable(parentCategoryName);
returnValue.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("Name", "".GetType()));
returnValue.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("Id", 0.GetType()));
Category cat = Category.Find(parentCategoryName);
IList categories = cat.GetList();
foreach (object obj in categories)
{
Category category = obj as Category;
if (category != null)
{
DataRow dataRow = returnValue.NewRow();
dataRow[0] = category.Name;
dataRow[1] = category.ID;
returnValue.Rows.Add(dataRow);
}
}
returnValue.AcceptChanges();
DataView dv = new DataView(returnValue);
dv.Sort = "Name ASC";
return dv.ToTable();
}
Keep in mind that I haven't done much testing of the code.
best regards

Is there a simple way to retrieve categories from a CategoryList object sorted by name?
By default, if I bind to a CategoryList the individual Category items are returned in Id order.
