Can't sort menuitem by other property but text

[bohebolo]

Is there a way to sort menu items (and subitems) by other property?
Currently i'm binding radmenu to ObservableCollection<T> to populate it.
Where T is my custom class that contain menuId, besides text & icon properties.

What i need is to sort by this menuId instead of text property.
Any help/directions will be appreciated...

thanks.

Hi,

RadMenu displays its items in the same order as they appear in the source collection. To change that order you should sort the sorce collection. Since ObservableCollection<T> does not have a Sort method, you could create a CollectionViewSource with Source your observable collection, and sort the CollectionViewSource instead.

All the best,

thanks Valeri,

It works like a charm, here is how to do it...

in usercontrol.resources:
        <CollectionViewSource x:Name="mainMenuItemsSource">
            <CollectionViewSource.SortDescriptions>
                <compMod:SortDescription PropertyName="MenuID" Direction="Ascending"/>
            </CollectionViewSource.SortDescriptions>
        </CollectionViewSource>


in code behind:
                mainMenuItemsSource.Source = e.Result;
                mainMenu.ItemsSource = mainMenuItemsSource.View;

EDIT: Don't forget to add this assembly
    xmlns:compMod="clr-namespace:System.ComponentModel;assembly=System.Windows"
