[Solved] Problem while grouping

[suresh]

Hi,
         I am using a radgridview.I have arranged my rows in an order from the database.It is working fine.But when i group the data with any of the columns,then it is ordering in an ascending order.I don't want to order the items when grouped.Is there any way to achieve this task.

Hello suresh,

You can change this behavior easily by attaching to the Grouping event of the grid and setting the SortDirection of the GroupDescriptor to null. Like this:

using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Windows.Controls;

namespace TicketID_250424_BringDataItemIntoView
{
    public partial class MainPage : UserControl
    {
        public MainPage()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            this.playersGrid.ItemsSource = Club.GetPlayers();

            this.playersGrid.Grouping += OnPlayersGridGrouping;
        }

        static void OnPlayersGridGrouping(object sender, Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.GridView.GridViewGroupingEventArgs e)
        {
            e.GroupDescriptor.SortDirection = null;
        }
    }
}

I have attached a sample project.

All the best,
