Sorting Expression on a Column

[Nikhil Jain]

Hi

I want to know. How can I apply Sorting on a Column by default when grid load. If I want that on a column "Customer Name" than How will I do this.

Hello Nikhil Jain,

You can define a SortDecscriptor in the XAML or in the code behind as shown here.

This is not working . I had applied it

 

 

 

<telerik:RadGridView.SortDescriptors>

 

 

 

 

<telerik:SortDescriptor Member="Customer" SortDirection="Ascending" />

 

 

 

 

</telerik:RadGridView.SortDescriptors>

 

 

 

 

<telerik:RadGridView.Columns>

 

 

 

 

    <telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Customer" DataMemberBinding="{Binding ShipToName}" Width="*" TextWrapping="Wrap" />

 

 

 

 

</telerik:RadGridView.Columns>

Hi Nikhil Jain,

You set the member to "Customer", but do you have such a property?
The column is bound to the ShipToName property, maybe you want to sort by it? If so, set it to the Member property of the SortDescriptor.

All the best,
