Sorting Boolean Column in Grid

[Brian]

Hi,

I have a grid which has a column bound to a boolean value indicating if the record is a priority or not.

I wan't to be able to sort the grid so that records with priority set to true to be at the top.

I cannot find any way to do this in the docs, is it possible? I notice that even the default sorting does not work (by clicking the header) so trying to set a sort order on the DataSource model is just failing on page load.

This is the child grid in a hierarchical situation if that makes any difference...

 

.Sort(s =>
{
s.Add(m => m.Priority).Ascending();
s.Add(m => m.Start).Descending();
}))

columns.Bound(m => m.Priority).Filterable(false).ClientTemplate("\\#= Priority ? '" + Resources.BUTTON_YES + "' : '" + Resources.BUTTON_NO + "' \\#")

Hello, Brian,

Thank you for the details.

The provided code is the supported approach to sort the Grid column initially.

Also, if the Grid is sortable, the user should be able to sort it manually:

https://docs.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/helpers/grid/configuration#sort

Could you please check if there are any errors in the console?

Additionally, then this should work in the same way if the Grid is a child Grid.

If possible, please provide a runnable example as the could be caused by a factor which we are overlooking at this moment.

Regards,
Stefan
