[Solved] Get Grid Sort Column and Direction

[Jim]

I am currently working on a grid that is using the virtual scrolling, and I need to be able to determine, on post back, what the sort column and direction are. What properties of the radgrid can I use to get the current sort column and direction? I need to be able to access these values on post backs other than ones that fire the: RadGrid1_SortCommand event.

Something like:
if(IsPostBack)
{
string sSortColumn = RadGrid1.SortColumnName;
}

how do you return the column name?

Hello Jim,

You can try out the following code to access the sorted field name and the sort order of the mastertableview on postbacks:
c#:

protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (RadGrid1.MasterTableView.SortExpressions.Count != 0)
        {
            string name = RadGrid1.MasterTableView.SortExpressions[0].FieldName;
            GridSortOrder order = RadGrid1.MasterTableView.SortExpressions[0].SortOrder;
        }
    }

Thanks
Princy.
