Hi,

Is there any possibility for sorting the groups as below

Consider this example:
GroupA
     Value5
     Value3
GroupB
     Value1

This happens when I click the sort of a column:

GroupA
     Value3
     Value5
GroupB
     Value1

What I'm wanting:

GroupB
     Value1
GroupA
     Value3
     Value5

1 Answer, 1 is accepted

Sort by

Hi Saravana,

Such sorting of the groups is not supported and the sorting will be applied on the values of the grouped field (or for the individual groups values). The main issue with the requirement that you have is the fact that you could have the following group values:
GroupB
     Value1
     Value7
GroupA
     Value3
     Value5

However, you can take a look at the approach used in the following Code Library for custom grouping (which will also allow you to implement the custom sorting as well) :
Hope this helps.
