HyperlinkColumn and Sorting

[Ulrich Witschaß]

Hello Telerik Team,

I have the following situation:

a RadDataGrid, DataBound to a ICollection of business objects. Some Columns represent "linked" objects of the base business object.

I want to add hyperlinks to the columns to open the business object in a form.

I have to supply two arguments to this form, the Type of the BO and the ID.

When I use a HyperlinkColumn, everything works great. I supply ID and Type as the DataNavigateUrlFields, and the corresponding URL-Template for the DataNavigateUrlFormatString.

This works like a charm.....but.....the columns HAVE to be sortable, filterable, groupable.

I do all sorting, filtering and grouping server side in a custom database call, but since I can't even enable "allowsorting" on the column, in the rendered grid, the user is unable to sort.

What workarounds are their, or is it planned for future releases to make HyperlinkColumns sortable?

best regards

Ulrik
