    Hi,

    I have some rather special display requirements on data in my RadDataGrid.  While I'd love to let RadDataGrid handle the sorting I think I need to populate the grid in the order I'd like.

    My question is can I detect via an event or something when a user changes the sort and direction on a particular column?  If so... how?

    Hello Mark,

    You could detect whether a column sort action is executed through the ColumnHeaderTap Command of the DataGrid. You could create a custom ColumnHeaderTap command as described here: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/universal-windows-platform/controls/raddatagrid/features/commands/datagrid-columnheadertapcommand.

    In addition, in the Execute method you could access the Column and its SortDirection. Check below a quick example:

    public class CustomColumnHeaderTapCommand : DataGridCommand
    {
        public CustomColumnHeaderTapCommand()
        {
            this.Id = CommandId.ColumnHeaderTap;
        }
     
        public override bool CanExecute(object parameter)
        {
            var context = parameter as ColumnHeaderTapContext;
            // put your custom logic here
            return true;
        }
     
        public override void Execute(object parameter)
        {
            var context = parameter as ColumnHeaderTapContext;
            var sortDirection = context.Column.SortDirection;
            this.Owner.CommandService.ExecuteDefaultCommand(CommandId.ColumnHeaderTap, context);
            // put your custom logic here              
        }
    }

    I hope this would be of help.
