DataTable.Select Method (String, String) may help. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/way3dy9w.aspx

As far as I know there is no Sort method available to directly sort the Rows of a DataTable.
One option is to use DefaultView, sort it and then use the ToTable method to obtain a sorted datatable, as shown below

C#

DataView dataView = DataTable1.DefaultView;
dataView.Sort = "Id";
DataTable sortedTable = dataView.ToTable();

Other option is to use DataTable.Select method as as mentioned by Nathan Stiles in the comment to the question, but with this method an Array of DataRow objects is obtained.
