Change default sorting for fields added at runtime

[Edwin]

Hi,

Is it possible to programmatically change the default sorting for fields that are added through a RadPivotFieldList?  Currently added fields have default sorting of Ascending (A to Z), but I would like to have no sorting.

Thanks,
Edwin

Hello Edwin,

What I can suggest you would be to subscribe to the PrepareDescriptionForField event of the DataSourceProvider and set the SortOrder of the new Description to None in the event handler the following way:

private void LocalDataSourceProvider_PrepareDescriptionForField(object sender, PrepareDescriptionForFieldEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.DescriptionType == DataProviderDescriptionType.Group)
    {
        (e.Description as PropertyGroupDescriptionBase).SortOrder = SortOrder.None;
    }
}

Hope this helps.
