Hi,
I need to programmatically update the sort order for a gridview, for example if I have a list of orders from different companies, in different countries for different amounts, and the user clicks on the country column to sort, I want to add the company and value columns to the sort so that within each country the orders are sorted by company, and within a company the orders are sorted by amount.
I have tried to add these as SortDescriptors in the 'Sorting' event but I cannot get the sort to use the newly added descriptors.
What technique should I be using?
Thanks,

Hello Cliff,
You need to cancel the Sorting event (e.Cancel = true), otherwise RadGridView proceeds with its own sorting logic, which clears the previous SortDescriptors, unless the user initiated multiple column sorting (holding down the Shift key while clicking the column header to sort).
