[Solved] Change column sort direction toggle order from None->Ascending->Descending to None->Descending->Ascending

[gregtayl]

Is there an easy way to change the sort direction toggle order when a user clicks a grid column?

By default, when a user clicks a column it cycles through sort directions in the following order:

1. None
2. ListSortDirection.Ascending
3. ListSortDirection.Descending

Ideally, I would like it to cycle through sort directions in this order:

1. None
2. ListSortDirection.Descending
3. ListSortDirection.Ascending

Our data sets are quite large, and consist of numerous (uninteresting) records with 'zero' values. In the current implementation users must click twice before viewing records of interest. This is unfortunate from not only a user perspective, but also from a performance perspective as it results in needless round trips to the server.

Any thoughts?

Hello Greg,

 Currently such mode is not supported and there is no workaround for it. I logged a request for such feature in our PITS - if more users request and vote for this functionality, we will add it in our ToDo list:
