Find Sort Column Number

[Duneel]

Hi,

I need to find the column index in the RadGrid that was clicked for sorting. I should be able to have my logic under radGrid_ItemComand when e.CommandName = "Sort"

The reason is my grid is dynamically created and i dont know what my colums are. So at least if I can find the clicked column number then I can implement the rest of the logic.

Thanks!

Hello!

I really don´t know if this is the best practice solution but I think it should work for you

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
       {
           if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.SortCommandName)
           {
              LinkButton sorting = (LinkButton)e.CommandSource;
              int orderIndex = this.RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumn(sorting.CommandArgument).OrderIndex;

           }
       }

Hello Mike,

Thanks for the code sample. Yeah this will also work. I set the SortExpression of each dynamic bound column to a unique value and i was able to get that in RadGrid1_Itemcommand event using e.CommandArgument.

Thanks,
