[Solved] Filtering enums does not respect DisplayAttribute annotations

[Aled]

When binding a column to an enum type like this:

public enum Status_E
{
        [Display(Name = "Planned", ResourceType = typeof(LocalizationResources))]
        Planned = 1,

        [Display(Name = "Pending", ResourceType = typeof(LocalizationResources))]
        Pending,

        [Display(Name = "Payed", ResourceType = typeof(LocalizationResources))]
        Payed
}
//...
columns.Bound(typeof(Status_E), "Status")
//...

the data shows up OK (the display name is loaded from the resource) but in the filter dialog for the column the possible filters are not localized (you get to choose between Planned, Pending and Payed instead of the localized values in the resource).

Is there a workaround for that?

PS: Also, sorting the column sorts by the internal value of the elements (1, 2, 3). I'd expect it to sort by the display text in alphabetical order.

I've the same issue.

- Has this been resolved?
- Did you found a work around?

Hi,

 No, this is not supported yet. The good news is that we plan to add this feature for the next official release which is due in June.

Which part is supported? The translation part? 
Do you have already some details? Because I can wait until june to have the filter/Order on the translation, but I need to have this list with the correct text in cells before, so the translation will already be implemented now

Hello,

 As I said in my previous reply using the DisplayAttribute to localize enum values is not supported yet. I cannot suggest a workaround - this is just missing functionality.
