[Solved] Custom arrange the Groups in RadGrid

[Sorin]

Hi,
I have a radGrid where I have the default Grouping by the Status Fields.
Could I arrange the Groups in a custom way or just sort ascendind or descending.

Ex. I have Status1 Group, Status 2 Group, Status 3 Group
I want to display Status 2 Group first then Status 1 Group then Status 3 Group.

Hello Sorin,

I'm afraid you could not arrange the Groups in a custom way.
RadGrid supports grouping of items based on the value of a particular column. You can even have multilevel grouping based on different criteria.

To group the data in a grid, specify grouping criteria by setting the GroupByExpressions property of a table view in the grid. You can set the group-by expressions declaratively at design time, or programmatically in the code-behind.

More information about RadGrid grouping is available in the following link.

Thanks for your reply. I found a workaround that did the job.
I understood that the RadGrid is sorting by default ascending and I put in my table 01Status1, 02Status03, 03Status02.
So my groups are ordered in my custom way.
I am making substring(2) when displayed.

That's a nice work around!
