Sort select List backing Multiselect

[Christoph]

Hi,

I'm trying to "miss-use" a Kendo-Multiselect to order some items by order of selection. Meaning I order the select-items in the current order before initializing the Multi-Select and when some items are changed I would like to re-order them according to the current order in the multi-select.

Is there an easy way to achieve that?

I already saw HERE how to get the items via JS (in the correct order), but bevor I start using some custom JS to update the select I would like to ask if there is an easier solution?

Or is there even a more suitable control available? I have <10 items where the user should be able to define the order of all selected items (so it is selection and order, e.g. out of 1,2,3,4,5 the user can e.g. choose 3,2,4 or 3,4,2).

regards,
Christoph

Hi Christoph,

I am not sure if I fully understand the scenario in question. Do you need to allow reordering of selected items in the MultiSelect? If that is the case, here is a forum thread that would be useful:

https://www.telerik.com/forums/how-to-sort-the-selected-items-of-multiselect

The above focuses on sorting selected items but you could handle the change event in your scenario too. This way you would achieve the required result.

As per an alternative component, I do not think I could offer you such.
