[Solved] Sorting of columns in a combo box

[Bruce]

Is it possible to allow sorting of columns in a rad combo box?  I don't see it in any of the examples (ideally click on the header and it does the sort similar to the way win forms combo boxes that have this kind of feature work).

Thanks!

Hello Bruce,


RadComboBox does not support sorting. To achieve your task you need to sort the datatable before binding it to the combo. Check out the following code library:

Thanks - if you could put it on a wish list, that would be great!  We have some windows forms combo boxes that do this and of course the users really like it....

Hello Bruce,

We will consider your suggestion. If this appears to be a common client request we will implement it. At this stage, we cannot tell you for sure when this will be done at our side.

Just wanted to say a big old "ditto" to this request. 

My data source isn't ordered easily.  When I shove it to a data grid, no biggie as I can tell the data grid to sort it for me. 

However when I do a drill down and show some data in a drop down, I'm now stuck doing the order by work that was happily skipped over when wiring up the data grid.

Thanks.

Hi Tim,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

We will do our best to include Sorting functionality of RadComboBox for the next official version.
