Sorting RadFileExplorer items by name
HOW-TO
Sorting RadFileExplorer items by name
SOLUTION
1) For RadFileExplorer: To sort the FileExplorer items use the RadGrid's Client-Side API as follows:
<script type="text/javascript">
function OnFileExplorerClientLoad(oExplorer, args)
{
var masterTable = oExplorer.get_grid().get_masterTableView();
masterTable.sort("Name");
// masterTable.sort("Size"); //sort the files by size
}
</script>
Attach the OnFileExplorerClientLoad function to the OnClientLoad event property of the RadFileExplorer control.
2) for RadEditor:
Register the external dialog files of RadEditor so that you can modify the FileBrowser.ascx file loaded in the RadEditor's FileBrowser managers (Image, Document, Flash, Media, Template, Silverlight). After that open the \EditorDialogs\FileBrowser.ascx file, locate the telerik:RadFileExplorer control and attach the OnFileExplorerClientLoad function below to the OnClientLoad event property of the RadFileExplorer control, e.g.
<telerik:RadFileExplorer ID="RadFileExplorer1" OnClientLoad="OnFileExplorerClientLoad" Height="450px" Width="400px" TreePaneWidth="150px"
runat="Server" EnableOpenFile="false" AllowPaging="true" />
<script type="text/javascript">
function OnFileExplorerClientLoad(oExplorer, args)
{
var masterTable = oExplorer.get_grid().get_masterTableView();
masterTable.sort("Name ASC"); //sort in ascending order
//masterTable.sort("Name DESC"); //sort in descending order
}
</script>
