Default multi-sort on grid?

[Jason]

So I have figured out how to give a grid a default sort order and it works good...  I would like to also be able to give it a secondary sort order...  first sort is "Bill Date" and then within rows that have the same bill date, they would be sort by "CoordinationOfBenefit".

Also of note, I have enabled multisort in the .Sortable

Thanks,
Jason



@(Html.Kendo().Grid<AccountClaim>()

                        .DataSource(ds => ds.Ajax()
                            .Sort(sort => sort.Add("BillDate").Descending())

Hello Jason,

You can define the sorting using a Statement lambda, for example: 

.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
    .Ajax()
    .Sort(s =>
    {
        s.Add("BillDate").Descending();
        s.Add("CoordinationOfBenefit").Ascending();

    })
