sorting a datagrid

Hello Experts,

I have a question related to sorting a data grid. The grid holds rows of an order. The last column of each row is a supplier row. What I want to do is sort the rows into sublists into a master list.

for example, if the order is as follows

row/ supplier
1) a
2) a
3) b
4) a
5) b

I create an array list holding 2 array lists, one for each distinct item in the grid (a and b). Here is where I run into trouble. I read the data for each column per row. How can I sort the row into the proper list during runtime? I need to have a master list that holds sub lists of each supplier.

Thanks,
Zac
