Sorted dataview to datatable

I have the following method:

private DataTable getsortedtable(DataTable dt)
{
    dt.DefaultView.Sort = "Name desc";
    //I would need to return the datatable sorted.
}

My issue is that I cannot change the return type of this method and I have to return a DataTable but i would like return it sorted.

Are there any magic hidden property of dt.DefaultView to return the dt sorted?

 {
    dt.DefaultView.Sort = "columnName DESC";
    return dt.DefaultView.ToTable();
  }
