[Solved] How to obtain the Column and sort direction clicked?

[vincent]

I would like to obtain the Column name and the direction of the sort when the user clicks a header name.  I'll be storing this in a cookie so that the next time the page is visited, I can automatically sort the grid to display what they last viewed.  How do I do this?

Thanks

Vincent

Hello Vincent,

You can get the ColumnName and SortDirection in the PreRender event as shown below.

CS:

    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;
        }
    }
