Hi Jay,
This is easy. There is an example in the out-of-box solution for Asset Tracking. The views are sorted using JScript. You can look at the code by exporting the files for the solution and opening the script.js file. The solution is one of the default samples installed with InfoPath. Sorting in C# is similar. Good luck!

Hi Jay,

So mabe you could write Managed Code called from the Form OnLoad. You could read data from a repeating group, store them into an array, sort in C# and write back the sorted items to the same group.

I want to do this each time the form is opened. So if something new is added it is placed in the correct position the next time the form is opened.

Hi Jay,

Do you want to do this when the form is loaded or on the fly (people re-ordering your rows based on a column header clicked)?

Ordering/Sorting repeated sections

Can i order/sort instances of repeating sections when displayed. For example I want to display repeated sections based on date (ascending). - I dont want to filter the data.
