sorting on grid load

[saravanan k]

Hi,

    i need to apply descending sorting for one column while loading the grid for the first time itself. is there any column properties for this. or should be done from the code behind?
if so please provide the code snippet.

Thanks,
Saravanan K

Hello Saravanan,

You can set default sort expression for the MasterTableView or a detail GridTableView directly in the ASPX declaration of the grid. When the grid is first loaded on the page, it is sorted based on the GridSortExpression objects in the SortExpressions collection.

aspx:

    <MasterTableView AutoGenerateColumns="False" EditMode="InPlace" PageSize="20" CommandItemDisplay="Top"
        DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" ClientDataKeyNames="CustomerID" DataKeyNames="CustomerID">
        <SortExpressions>
            <telerik:GridSortExpression FieldName="CustomerID" SortOrder="Ascending"/>
        </SortExpressions>
        <Columns>

Thanks,
Princy.
