Sorting in a DatagridView

Hi,
I'm using generics in my program and i'm binding the List object which contains the data to the datagridview. But when i use the sort property of the gridview its throws an error "DataGridView control must be bound to an IBindingList object to be sorted.". It seems that i should use a sortable binding list. how can i solve the problem , is there any other functionality to sort the grid or is it possible for me to convert the List to a sortablebindinglist and bind it to the grid. please helm me out in this.
