I have the DataGridView Binding Mananger which contains one standard string colum and  ComboBoxColumn, the values in the combo are sorted from the data model before the grid is populated , but when i click on the column header to sort that column by it textual value , it seems to sort it by the value member. Is there a way to sort it by its display name.

Do i do this in the ListConverter Properties?

its logical behaviour is to sort with value member. I don't think listConverter will be any helpful in this scenario. What i recommend i, you should try to catch the sorting event of this column. In this way you can sort the columns on your criteria.

I will try to find a reference implementation, i am sure you will find it on the internet.
