Sorting in a DataBoundListBox?

[Eric Schoenholzer]

My listbox is bound to an ObeservableCollection.

Now I would like to sort the list items.
I know, I could sort the ObeservableCollection directly (not the easiest and fastest way in WP7).

My idea was to use it like the JumpList.
But it seems the DataBoundListBox doesn't expose the RadCollectionViewSource
and I didn't find a way to use RadCollectionViewSource directly and bind the DataBoundLiist to it.

So what would be the "Telerik way" to make the list box sortable?
Thanks for any suggestion.

Hi Eric,

Thanks for contacting us and for your questions.

Currently, the RadDataBoundListBox does not support sorting operations. We will consider this but I cannot give an exact time frame or a promise when this will be implemented.

You can either sort the data source collection by yourself or simply use the RadJumpList as a list box control and use the SortDescriptors  property. If you do not have data groups in your scenarios, the RadJumpList will behave in pretty much the same way as the RadDataBoundListBox control.

I hope this helps.

Do not hesitate to get back to us in case of further questions.

Thanks, the RadJumpList works fine.

May I give suggestion for the

GenericSortDescriptor

and
PropertySortDescriptor
?

Would be nice to have constructors with the SortMode property as additional parameter.

Thanks
Eric
