Sort on ComboBox selected value

[John]

Is it possible to sort on the selected value in the combobox that I've implemented like this?

<telerik:GridViewColumn  UniqueName="Responsible" Header="Responsible" IsGroupable="False" MinWidth="150">
                    <telerik:GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
                        <DataTemplate>
                            <ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding DepartmentEntities}" SelectedValuePath="Id" DisplayMemberPath="Name"  SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedDepartment, Mode=TwoWay}" MinWidth="150">
                            </ComboBox>
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </telerik:GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
                </telerik:GridViewColumn >

Kind Regards,

Hi John,

Generally, you have to define the DataMemberBinding property of the column in order to enable sorting out-of-the-box (you need to use GridViewDataColumn instead). On the other hand, you may benefit directly form the GridViewComboBoxColumn. If you want to sort it based on the displayed value, you may take a look at this forum thread.

All the best,

The reason why I have a combobox in a datatemplate like that, is because I wanna avoid having to double click in order to modify a value in a GridViewComboBoxColumn. This might be better to take in a new thread, but is it possible to turn that off?
