I do use it against datatables and it seems to work for me. I guess the IEnumerable is somehow implicit.

And you also have datable.copy().sort I have found.

All in all it's about the same functionality we used to have in DAO/ADO recordset, together with move and other.

Well good to know that not everybody runs when they see a LINQ statement. As I said earlier, when I grow up I wanna be a LINQ programmer.

Thanks and take care.
