I bound my grid to collection, but the column want images from is really an enum with values of Complete & Incomplete.

I hide that column and created an unbound column after the grid is bound in Initialize layout like so...

e.Layout.Bands[0].Columns["Test"].DataType = typeof(Bitmap);

e.Layout.Bands[0].Columns["Test"].CellAppearance.ImageHAlign = Infragistics.Win.HAlign.Center;

e.Layout.Bands[0].Columns["Test"].Header.VisiblePosition = 0;

then in Initialize Row i did this...

e.Row.Cells["Test"].Value = imageList1.Images[0];

e.Row.Cells["Test"].Value = imageList1.Images[1];

I find that binding my data achieves better performance etc.

I just use the built in sort of the grid and don't have any troubles at one point I tried doing what you are attempting and it just caused more trouble than good so I ended up just going back to simple logic and letting the win/web Grids do what they are suppose to do :)

 How are you doing your icons? You should be able to do this without using a sortcomparer.

Thanks for the info Chris.  Your web page looks good.

Are you binding your data or manually loading the grid with rows?

How do you handle the sorting of the icons columns?

Right now i have my grid bound to an EmailCollection class I made.

I used a SortComparer for the sorting and assigned it to the SortComparer property or column in the grid.

Only thing i don't like though is that the grid passes ultra grid cells in for comparing, sort comparer takes objects and i have to cast back into an email object by using cell.row.dataObject.  This is working well but now my EmailCollection class has references to the UltraGrid and i would prefer if it didnt.  Is there an alternative?  How do you handle this?

Thanks!
