[Solved] Rad grid export sorting

[Eddy]

Hi I have a RadGrid that I'm exporting to pdf but the rows in the pdf are not sorted the same way they are in the grid. Do I need to do something additional to export the sorting settings of the grid?
This is the code I'm using to export the grid:

grid.MasterTableView.ExportToPdf();
Thanks!

Hi,

You can set the GridSortExpression as shown below.
C#:

protected void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
        GridSortExpression expression = new GridSortExpression();
        expression.FieldName = "YourField";
        expression.SortOrder = GridSortOrder.Descending;
        RadGrid1.MasterTableView.SortExpressions.AddSortExpression(expression);
        RadGrid1.MasterTableView.ExportToPdf();
        RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Rebind();
}

Thanks,
Shinu

Hi
Thanks for your help but that did not work, it didn't sort the rows in the pdf by the field I specified

Hi Eddy,

I was not able to reproduce the issue. I prepared a small sample and attached it to this forum post. Could you please give it a try and let me know how it differs from your real setup?

All the best,

Thanks! I got it to work. The issue was that after the call to ExportToPdf() the event OnNeedDataSource was being fired
