how to sort a converted column.

[Pankaj]

Hi,

I have my grid defined as follows:

 

 

 

 

 

 

<telerik:RadGridView
            x:Name="RadGridView"
            AutoGenerateColumns="False"
            IsReadOnly="True"
            ItemsSource="{Binding VerificationPathsData}"
            SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedItem}" Loaded="RadGridView_Loaded" >
            <telerik:RadGridView.Columns>

                <telerik:GridViewDataColumn
                    Header="Verification Path Pair"
                    UniqueName="VerificationPathPair"
                    DataMemberBinding="{Binding Path=., Converter={StaticResource VPPair}}"
                    />
                 <--Other COlumns follow-->

I want the grid to be sorted based on this 'Verification Path Pair' column. I tried using columnsortdescrptor but that gave me error.

private void RadGridView_Loaded(object sender, System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)
       {
           Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadGridView rgv = (Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadGridView)sender;
           ColumnSortDescriptor csd = new ColumnSortDescriptor()
           {
               Column = rgv.Columns["VerificationPathPair"],
               SortDirection = ListSortDirection.Descending
           };
           rgv.SortDescriptors.Add(csd);
       }

Please suggest how can I have grid sorted based on this column.
