Hello,

Is it possible programmatically shows the Fileexplorer sorted by filename?

Thank you

Hi Roberto,

If I'm not mistaken that's the default behavior.

Hello Roberto,

Yes, you can sort the items by using the grid's client side API as follows:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function OnFileExplorerClientLoad(oExplorer, args)
    {
        var masterTable = oExplorer.get_grid().get_masterTableView();

        masterTable.sort("Name");
        // masterTable.sort("Size");
    }
</script>

The OnFileExplorerClientLoad function is attached to the OnClientLoad event of the RadFileExplorer control.

I hope this helps.

Hello

Thank you for your response.

I had placed this code:

 function OnClientLoad(sender, args)  {
         var masterTable = sender.get_grid().get_masterTableView();
         masterTable.sort("Name DESC");

         }

It didn't work, because when the page is loading (the ajax clock is showed) I saw the files order by filename in desceding order, but when the page completed to load the order is by filename in ascending order.

Hi Roberto,

The provided function works on my side, and for your convenience I have attached my project to this thread. Please note that the sort function works such as in the Window OS - it sorts the files and the directories separately(when you use the View->Arrange Icons by->Name  for example).
In case that you still experience the problem, please rework it in order to replicate your setup, open a new support ticket and send it back. I will check the project and do my best provide a solution. Also please provide information about the exact version of the control that you use.

I have a similar question about sorting by name and date for items in the RadFileExplorer - but the C# version;

I am loading the View Paths and the Upload Paths from the C#;

Thanks in advance for any insight;
