[Solved] Sort text as number

[John Grymonprez]

I have a grid where one column is numbers represented as text like this:

1.1.1

1.1.2

...

1.10.1

1.2.1

This sorting order is off, and I'm wondering if the radgrid can automatically correct this, so 10 is not smaller than 2.

Thanks for your help.

Hi John,

In your case you need to use custom sorting:
