RadGrid: Inconsistent Sorting and Row Selection Behavior with Duplicate Values

[Harini]

Hello Telerik Support,

We are experiencing an issue with the RadGrid control when sorting by a single column that contains many duplicate values. The ordering of the results is inconsistent, which can confuse users. Additionally, in some cases, selecting a row causes the grid to re-sort unexpectedly, rather than navigating to the selected record’s page.

This behavior only occurs when sorting by a single column with non-unique values. When sorting by multiple columns, the ordering and navigation work as expected.

Could you please advise on:
• How to ensure stable and predictable sorting in RadGrid when sorting by columns with duplicate values?
• Best practices for maintaining consistent row selection and navigation behavior in these scenarios?

We are targeting .NET Framework 4.8.

Thank you for your assistance.
