Enum column filter - showing description instead of names

[Jatin]

Hi,
   I have an enum column in a grid something like this

   col.Bound(m => m.UserType).ClientTemplate("<#= UserTypeEnum[UserType] #>");

The column is filterable and the default grid filter provides values to be selected from names of enum. Actually I have set "description" attribute on the Enum names and I need to display descriptions (instead of names) in the filter. How can I display "descriptions" in filter ? 

regards,

Hi all,
       I am stuck at this problem. I have enums for Blood Group types (like A+, A- etc). Enums does not allow values like A+ so I have created enums like A_Positive and set the description attribute to display value like A+. I can then display the description wherever enum is expected. The only hindrance is the Grid Filter where the actual enum names (like A_Positive) get populated. Any one please help me resolve this problem of displaying descriptions (like A+)   instead of names.

regards,
Nirvan.

Did you find a solution to this? I need to localise the enum display names in the filter dropdown list, but there doesn't seem to be any way to do this.
