Custom sorting or SortMemberPath

[Ping Pong Guru]

I have a user control being used in telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate of a grid view. The user control interpret a property value differently. For example, the requirement is to display the category name of a product, so SortMemberPath=Category being used. The user control column will display the category of the product if there is only one category. If the product belongs to more than one category, the column it should display Many. The word Many is displayed by the user control that I initially talked about. Using SortMemberPath=Category does not help the sorting because the collection of Category that the column looks for sorting does not have Many, because it is interpreted by the user control.

In my case, should I use custom sorting? Is there an example you can point me to?

Hi,

You can check our online demos on custom sorting: here and here. Using custom sorting you can tell the GridView how to order/sort its items.
