Natural sort the TreeList

[Kay]

How can we sort the treelist by using natural sort? Or customize the sort method?

We need the TreeList should be sorted like that:

Folder 1

     Item 5

     Item 6

     Item 50

Folder 2

     Item 3

     Item 4

     Item 30

Folder 10

     Item 1

Hello Kelvin,

The Kendo UI TreeList is using the browser sorting algorithm, which is alphabetical.

The natural sort algorithm, can be achieved by using the widget columns.sortable.compare configuration, to add a custom logic for sorting items:

http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/treelist#configuration-columns.sortable.compare

Here you can check some examples of a custom implementation of the natural sort algorithm in Kendo UI:

Let me know if you need additional information.
