Bind sort index to a property

[Jan Paolo]

Hello, Is there a way to bind the sort index to a property?
For example, we have the following class

public class Foo
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public int SortIndex { get; set; }
}

If the user clicks a column header and turns it to ascending order then the the SortIndex of the items should be updated with respect to how it was sorted in the UI.

Thanks!

Hi Jan Paolo,

The SortingIndex property of the GridViewDataColumn can not be bound. What you could try to get the SortingIndex is to subscribe to the Sorted event of the RadGridView. In the event handler, you can get the current sorted Column from the event arguments and get its SortingIndex property.

private void MyGridView_Sorted(object sender, GridViewSortedEventArgs e)
{
    var header = e.Column.Header;
    var column = e.Column.SortingIndex;
}

Then you could update your property from your model. Hope this approach will work for you.
