[Solved] Prevnt sorting on a particular column in grid

[Jyothi]

Hi,

 

We have a requirement where we have to allow sorting on the kendo-grid column, but prevent on one of the column from sorting. I see that we have a

[sortable]="true"  to allow sorting.
 
How can we set this but not allow sorting on a particular column?
 
Thanks,
Jyothi

I think I found the answer searching the web. We can set the same property on the columns itself.

Hello, Jyothi,

To allow sorting on all columns except a specific one in the Kendo UI for Angular Grid, you can set [sortable]="true" on the grid, and then set [sortable]="false" on the column you want to exclude from sorting. Here’s how you can do it:

• https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-nwg19yhv-jnntk7fm?file=src%2Fapp%2Fapp.component.ts 

<kendo-grid [data]="gridData" [sortable]="true">
  <kendo-grid-column field="ProductName" title="Product Name"></kendo-grid-column>
  <kendo-grid-column field="Category" title="Category" [sortable]="false"></kendo-grid-column>
  <kendo-grid-column field="Price" title="Price"></kendo-grid-column>
</kendo-grid>

You can find more details in the documentation:

Let me know if you have any other questions or need further customization.
