Sorting multiple templated columns

[Jerry Kurata]

Hi,

In my radgrid my columns are all created at runtime by creating a datatemplate.  In this datatemplate controls are bound to various data values associated with the cell through a ValueConverter.  I would like to do a custom sort of multiples of these columns using these bound values.  Do you have a sample that can get me started?

Thanks,

Jerry

Hello Jerry Kurata,

The only way to sort RadGridView is through its SortDescriptors collection. You can add SortDescriptor's to this collection to sort the grid. For example:

this.playersGrid.SortDescriptors.Add(
                new SortDescriptor()
                {
                    Member="Name",
                    SortDirection = System.ComponentModel.ListSortDirection.Descending
                }
                );

The other thing that you can possibly do is attach to the Sorting event and change something according to your custom logic. This is demonstrated in our online example Custom Sorting.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,
