I have read on a couple of blogs that the RadGridView allows the developer to programmatically set the FilterDescriptors property in order to bypass the UI filtering options on the grid.
As far as I can see, this property is absent on the regular ASP.NET MVC Grid control.
Are there any plans to add this functionality? Or is there some other way I can achieve the same result?

Currently the MVC grid does not support programmatic filtering. Filtering can only be achieved using the provided UI. Could you please elaborate on your requirement? Perhaps you can filter the data prior to binding it to the grid.

Stravstvoi Atanas,
Thanks for your prompt reply.
Yes, we can easily filter the data prior to loading the grid, however we are expecting very large result sets, and the problem then comes in that we need to post back the same filter that was initially used when requesting subsequent pages.
If we could set the filter on the grid when we initially create it, the filter parameters would be automatically posted back via the grids built in paging functionality.
Is this functionality expected to be added in a future release? Otherwise the only workaround we can see at this stage is to store the users current filter in the session on the server, which is obviously not ideal.
Cheers,
Matt

Thank you for the clarification. Indeed this sounds like a nice to have feature (setting the filter from API) and I have logged it for implementation.
