Selective sort. (Only certain columns)

[Mike Causi]

Is there a way to exclude certain columns from being clickable in a grid, so that they cannot be sorted.
Just because I have 10 columns listed, doesn't mean I want all of them to be sortable.

Please let me know.

Thanks.

Hello Mike,

You can achieve by simply setting the AllowSorting property of column to False to exclude the particular column from sorting.

aspx:

<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="CustomerID" AllowSorting="false" HeaderText="CustomerID"
    UniqueName="CustomerID">
</telerik:GridBoundColumn>

Perfect.  I don't know how I overlooked that one.

Hi.

I cannot use this AllowSorting="false".
because the column that should not be able to sort is not a GridBoundColumn
<telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="itemVolgorde" DataField="itemVolgorde" HeaderText="Item Nr." FooterText="Item Nr." AllowSorting="false"  >
 <ItemTemplate>
  <asp:Label ID="lblItemNur" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("itemVolgorde") %>' />
  <asp:TextBox ID="txtBoxName" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("itemVolgorde") %>' Width="95%" Style="display: none" />
 </ItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn > 

This column should not be sortable but with this option i get the next Error:

An unexpected error occurred loading Web Part. Type 'Telerik.Web.UI.GridTemplateColumn' does not have a public property named 'AllowSorting'.

How do I get AllowSorting false on this column type?

Kind regards

I found the value -> Reorderable="False"

that one seems to be working,

thanks
