Sort Telerik WPF GridView on Selected Items

[Rebecca]

I would like to sort my GridView so that the selected items appear at the top.

It appears that there is no ColumnSortDescriptor type for WPF (however after reading documentation it appears that this type exists for the Silverlight GridView control)....maybe I'm just not looking in the right namespace (it's not in the Telerik.Windows.Data namespace)

Anyways, I would love it if some could explain how I could accomplish this.


Thank you.

Hello,

 Generally ColumnSortDescriptor is available for both Silverlight and WPF since Q3 2010 however I'm afraid that there is no such built-in sorting in the grid that will let selected items on the top.

Best wishes,

Thank you for your reply.

I think I need to rephrase my question.
I have a GridViewSelectColumn in my GridView and I would like to sort on this column so that the "checked" items are moved to the top.
Is there no built in way to sort on this column?

Also, I am still wondering what namespace is the ColumnSortDescriptor type in?


Thanks for your help!

Hello Rebecca,

 As you know each CheckBox in the GridViewSelectColumn is bound to the IsSelected property of the corresponding row. In order to be able to sort it, you may create your own custom column as illustrated in this forum thread.

All the best,
