Description

Sorts the records in a datagrid form when clicking on the column header. Toggles between ascending/descending sort order.

More Info

I assume that the connection is established and that the recordset has been opened.

Besides that I would really appreciate your feedback. Let me know if you have other ideas on how to accomplish this. I'd specially like to know if there is a "nicer" alternative to the nested if-statement.

Not that I could see ;)
