CheckedDropDownList checked items sort order

[Mark]

Is there a simple way, by setting a property, that the items that are checked that show up in the checked list area, (not in the drop down list) stay sorted as they are sorted in the Drop Down and not sort based on the order they checked them in the list? 

 

If not, what would be the best way to make this happen?

 

 

Thanks

Hello, Mark, 

By design, the tokens in the editable part of RadCheckedDropDownList are ordered in the order of adding the autocomplete items. There is no property or an easy way to control the tokens' order. Note that RadCheckedDropDownList internally uses a derivative of the RadAutoCompleteBoxElement. You can handle the CheckedDropDownListElement.AutoCompleteEditableAreaElement.AutoCompleteTextBox.TextChanged event and manipulate the text according to the desired sort order to the tokens. The following help article demonstrates how to set text in the autocomplete box: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/editors/autocompletebox/text-editing 

I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me. 

Regards,
Dess
