I am databinding a DataTable to a RadGrid.  The records look something like this:

 

Customer Name

A-Line Truck Equipment
ABC Enterprises
Airflow Systems
Airtest
Alloring
Anderson and Associates

 

But when this column is sorted in the grid, it appears like this:

ABC Enterprises
Airflow Systems
Airtest
A-Line Truck Equipment
Alloring
Anderson and Associates

 

As you can see, the hyphen is ignored in the A-Line Truck Equipment name which moves it in the list.  Is there a way to prevent this?

Hi Charles,

The sorting for the RadGrid implements standard sorting based on the Lexicographic system.  If you would like to implement custom sorting, please take a look at this article on Applying Custom Sort Criteria.

Hope this helps clear things.
