SortOrder = "None" GroupByExpressions

[Katie Arnott]

I'm using the GroupByExpressions on the RadGrid, but I would not like my data to be sorted when bound. 

Here is my mock up:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="HeadCountRadGrid" runat="server" Skin="Sunset_Custom" GridLines="Both"
            AutoGenerateColumns="false" Width="100%" EnableEmbeddedSkins="false" AllowSorting="false"
            OnNeedDataSource="HeadCountRadGrid_OnNeedDataSource" >
    <MasterTableView BorderStyle="None" BorderWidth="0px" GroupsDefaultExpanded="true" GroupLoadMode="Client" >
        <GroupByExpressions>
            <telerik:GridGroupByExpression>
                <SelectFields >
                    <telerik:GridGroupByField  FieldName="Section" HeaderValueSeparator=" " HeaderText=" " />
                 </SelectFields>
                <GroupByFields>
                    <telerik:GridGroupByField  FieldName="Section" SortOrder="None"  />
                </GroupByFields>
            </telerik:GridGroupByExpression>
        </GroupByExpressions>
        <Columns>
            <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Group" ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Right" HeaderText="" ItemStyle-Width="250" HeaderStyle-Width="270"/>
            <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="NumberOfStudents" ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Right" HeaderStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center" HeaderText="Number of Students"  />
       </Columns>
    </MasterTableView>
    </telerik:RadGrid>

Thank you,

Katie

Hi Katie,

To achieve the desired functionality you can handle the SortCommand event of the grid and there implement your logic. Find more information on custom grid sorting in the following resources:

http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/grdapplycustomsortcriteria.html
http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/grdsortingexpressions.html

I hope this gets you started properly.


Best wishes,
