I've got data that looks something like this...

Section

SubSection

Version

ABC

Apples

1

DEF

Pears

1

DEF

Oranges

1

DEF

Pears

2

DEF

Pears

3


and would like it to sort it by Section (asc), Subsection (asc) and then Version (desc).  In my RadGrid/MasterTableView/SortExpressions section, I add the following...
<rad:GridSortExpression FieldName="Version" SortOrder="" /> 
<rad:GridSortExpression FieldName="SubSection" SortOrder="Ascending" /> 
<rad:GridSortExpression FieldName="Section" SortOrder="Ascending" /> 
 

According to my understanding of this article, the result should be:

Section

SubSection

Version

ABC

Apples

1

DEF

Oranges

1

DEF

Pears

3

DEF

Pears

2

DEF

Pears

1


But it's not.  "Version" is always sorted in ascending order.  The only way I can get anything to sort in descending order is if I remove all but that sort expression.

What am I missing?

Thanks for the help.

Hello James,

Attached to this message, is a sample application, which handles a functionality close to the one that you mentioned and behaves as expected.
Let me know what your findings are.

Aha!

I was missing the AllowMultiColumnSorting="true" directive in the MasterTableView.  Didn't know that even existed.

With that attribute, it's sorting exactly as expected.

Thanks for the help.
