Group by column in descending order by default

[Yih Wern]

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to set the Kendo Grid with Group by specific column by default, so I have used the code snippet as shown below:

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<StudentRecord>().Name("Grid")

.Groupable()

.Sortable()

.GroupPaging(true)

.Group(x => x.Add(y => y.StartYear))

 

And I realised it always displays the StartYear groups in ascending order by default.

Please advise how I could set the StartYear groups to sort in descending order by default.

Thank you.

Hello,

You can try setting the Sort of the Groupable method:

 .Groupable(g=>g
    .Sort(e=>e.Dir(System.ComponentModel.ListSortDirection.Descending)
    ))

Hi Plamen,

Appreciate your response and I have tried, but it did not work as expected.

My requirement is to sort by the StudentYear, and I managed to find the solution from this post:
