Grid sorting not enabled

[LJZIMMERMAN]

I had a grid which I would like to sort. However, it appears (and acts like) sorting is not enabled.

1st Quarter 2016

Here is my grid definition. There is quite a bit going on in the code behind, as this grid is datasource driven. I have code in prerender, itemcreated, columncreated and needdatasource, but nothing I can determine would affect the sort capabilities.

 

<telerik:RadGrid

Could you please help?

Hello,

Note that the sort is automatically enabled when you set AllosSorting property to true. I noticed that you already have enabled this property. Could you please verify that you are not receiving any client or server exception which might prevent sorting the grid? Additionally if you are using an ajax I would recommend you to temporary disable it and check if any exception is thrown.

I am not receiving any client or server errors when attempting to sort.  There is no ajax manager on the page as I removed it.

 

The grid still will not sort.

Hello,

I prepared a small sample based on the provided code and on my side the sorting seems to work correctly. Could you please check out the attached sample and let me know how it differs from your real setup? In case you need to enable the sorting of the HyperLinkColumn you need to set appropriate SortExpression values for those columns. For additional details I would recommend you to examine the following help article.

I hope this information helps.
