[Solved] Localized Sort in RadGrid

[Chris]

Although my thread's current culture and current UI culture is set to "cs-CZ", the built-in sorting is not sorting "H" before "C" as expected.  I have not been able to locate an example that shows how to make the grid honor the current culture's sorting like a DataView would.

Has someone accomplished this with the Q3 2008 Ajax release?

Thanks,
Chris

Hello Chris,

I am reposting here the reply my colleague Tsvetoslav provided in the support ticket you opened with regards to this subject:

If you set the culture of the current thread, RadGrid's sorting should take it into account and sort accordingly. I tested the Czech culture both under 2.0 and 3.5 and the grid sorts as expected - as evidenced by the samples I am attaching to this post.

Best regards,

You are correct.  If you set the CurrentCulture and CurrentUICulture of the thread correctly, no special consideration is needed to make the grid sort properly.

It appears that my problem was caused by a combination of not remembering the Czech sorting rules properly at one point and someone changing my environment back to en-US without me noticing at a different point.

Thanks for the good support.
