[Solved] Restrict Column Sort to be just Ascending or Descending

[Deepak N]

Hi,

Is it possible to turn off canceling sort on third click on column header. It should not allow SortingState.None.

Hi Deepak N,

When we release the fix that I have mentioned in the other post this will be possible by handling the Sorting event and setting NewSortState to Ascending and Descending only (swapping them each time sorting is requested):

        static void playersGrid_Sorting(object sender, GridViewSortingEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.NewSortingState == SortingState.None)
            {
                e.NewSortingState = SortingState.Ascending;
            }
        }

I hope that this will be available in the Latest Internal Build which should be released tomorrow.

Sincerely yours,
