Set default sort order for managers in the RAD Editor

[bitblock R]

Hi,
We are can click on the name of the column in the Image Manager to sort ASC and DESC.
Can we set these sorted alphabetically by default?  If yes what property we should used?
Thanks

Hello Bitblock R,

Please, see the following KB article on the subject: Sorting RadFileExplorer items by name.

Thanks for the answer, but in my case the Rad Editor created dynamically.

htmlContentRadEditor = new RadEditor
{
    ID = htmlContentRadEditorId,
};
htmlContentRadEditor.Initialize();
htmlContentRadEditor.ImageManager.ViewPaths[0] = "~/images";

htmlContentRadEditor.Width = new Unit(100, UnitType.Percentage);
htmlContentRadEditor.AddLinks(Resource.WebFeedSuffix);
Controls.Add(htmlContentRadEditor);

Can I add sorting on the server side?
Thanks

Hi,

RadEditor does not offer a programmatic access to the elements of its built-in dialogs, because they are separate files. What you can do is to set the ExternalDialogsPath property to point to the EditorDialogs folder on the server and manually customize the \EditorDialogs\FileBrowser.ascx file as it is demonstrated in the provided KB article, e.g.

htmlContentRadEditor = new RadEditor
{
    ID = htmlContentRadEditorId,
};
htmlContentRadEditor.Initialize();
htmlContentRadEditor.ImageManager.ViewPaths[0] = "~/images";
 htmlContentRadEditor.ExternalDialogsPath = "~/EditorDialogs";
htmlContentRadEditor.Width = new Unit(100, UnitType.Percentage);
htmlContentRadEditor.AddLinks(Resource.WebFeedSuffix);
Controls.Add(htmlContentRadEditor);

Best wishes,
