[Solved] Default filter on load

[Michael Dunbar]

Hi,

Bit of help please.

I am trying to follow this tutorial: http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/grdapplyingdefaultfilteroninitialload.html but am struggling to get my head around it. I want to set a filter on a "Date modified" field so that the last document modified (my grid row) is always at the top of the list.

I am using advanced databinding to populate my grid but I do not use a traditional SQL datasource directly. I am populating my grid from an object returned as a list.

Would somebody been kind enough to give me some example code of a filter that orders by date as described?

Thanks,

Michael

Hello Michael,

It seems you are confused with Sorting and Filtering. If you want to display the last modified date on the top of the grid followed by other dates in order, then you can set the SortExpressions fro the grid as shown below:
aspx:

 <telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" DataSourceID="Sqldatasource1"
        runat="server">
     <MasterTableView>
          <SortExpressions>
              <telerik:GridSortExpression FieldName="Date Modified" SortOrder="Ascending"/>
          </SortExpressions>

Thanks
Princy.

You're quite right, I've got myself mixed up!
