Sort order of groupings

[Guy Inwhitenorth]

Hello,

I have a grouping in my grid which is specified in xaml. The grouping has two possible values, "Live" and "Paper".

I'd like to ensure that the "Live" grouping is always on top, regardless of how the user sorts data in the grid. (They cannot sort by the column I am using to group by).

How can this be accomplished?

Thanks

Hello Guy Inwhitenorth,

As I understand,  your idea is to have a field with two values - "live" and "paper" and to group according to them with the condition that those objects with value "live" are always on top despite any sorting.

So, if I understand correctly, this can be accomplished with a GroupDescriptor defined in the RadGridView. It will group the Grid according to the value of the field "type", which is the one accepting "live" and "paper" values.

The definition of the GroupDescriptor is the following:

      <telerik:RadGridView.GroupDescriptors>

         <telerikData:GroupDescriptor Member="Type"

        SortDirection="Ascending"  />

      </telerik:RadGridView.GroupDescriptors>

I hope this helps, but if it does not match your case, please explain your idea with more details.

Best wishes,
