Hi,

I am unable to find OldSortingState & NewSortingState properties in GridViewSortingEventArgs.. Follwing is your example, Please suggest

private
void CustomSortingGrid_Sorting( object sender, GridViewSortingEventArgs e )
{
   
//Gets the value of the ItemsSource property as IEnumerable.
   
IEnumerable<Employee> employees = e.DataControl.ItemsSource as IEnumerable<Employee>;
   
//Checks if the value of the collection is null.
   
if ( employees == null )
   {
       e.Cancel = true;
       
return;
   }
   
//If the sorting state is none, sort the items ascending.
   
if ( e.OldSortingState == SortingState.None )
   {
       e.NewSortingState = SortingState.Ascending;
       employees = employees.OrderBy( employee => employee.GetType()
                                                          .GetProperty( e.SortPropertyName )
                                                          .GetValue( employee,
null ) );
   }
   
//If the sorting state is none, sort the items descending.
   
else if ( e.OldSortingState == SortingState.Ascending )
   {
       e.NewSortingState = SortingState.Descending;
       employees = employees.OrderByDescending( employee => employee.GetType()
                                                                    .GetProperty( e.SortPropertyName )
                                                                    .GetValue( employee,
null ) );
   }
   
//If the sorting state is descending, apply default sorting to the items.
   
else
   {
       
e.NewSortingState = SortingState.None;
       employees = employees.OrderBy( employee => employee.EmployeeID );
   }
   
//Set the sorted collection as source of the RadGridView
   
e.DataControl.ItemsSource = employees.ToList();
   e.Cancel = true;
}
