Sort TreeList Nodes

[Joel]

My requirements say that I must sort the items in the treelist alphabetically.  This includes the child nodes.  This control uses a "flat hierarchy" because it is a table with parent references.  When I sort the source data alphabetically it doesn't seem to change anything.  I need to short by Group.Name:

<script id="icon-template" type="text/x-kendo-template">
    <div class='group-icon'
         style='background-image: url(@Url.Content("#: ImageUrl #"));'></div>
    <div class='group-name'>#: Name #</div>
</script>

@(Html.Kendo().TreeList<Group>()
    .Name("treelist")
    .Columns(columns =>
    {
        if (!Model.GetBoolValue(Glossary.Models.Group.Keys.IsHideDetails))
        {
            columns.Add().Command(c => { c.Custom().Text("Details").Name("detailButton").ClassName("detailButton").Click("goDetail"); }).Width(Glossary.Portal.ButtonWidth);
        }

        if (Model.GetBoolValue(Glossary.Models.Group.Keys.IsHideMeta))
        {
            columns.Add().Field(e => e.Name).TemplateId("icon-template").Width(225);
        }
        else
        {
            columns.Add().Field(e => e.Name).TemplateId("icon-template");
        }
    })
    .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
        .ServerOperation(false)
        .Read(read => read.Action("IndexJson", "Groups").Data("getData"))
        .Model(m =>
        {
            m.Id(f => f.Id);
            m.ParentId(f => f.ParentId);
            m.Expanded(true);
            m.Field(f => f.Name);
        }).Events(events => events.Error("onError"))
      ).Events(evt => evt.DataBound("treeListBound"))
)

Hello, Joel,

Have you tried adding a sort to the DataSource configuration?

 .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
     .Sort(s=>s.Add(f=>f.Name))

I ran a quick test in the enclosed project and it works as expected.

Kind Regards,
