In my page I have used telerik grid with sorting functionality. In that I have a many columns with different datatype(Single, multiline, date, etc..)
I have a bulk of data, which I have updated day to day. In that grid, the sorting functionality is working fine for all types of columns but the column (Description) which has multiline text does not sort stable.
Example: Some data starts with number(1, 2 , ..) and Character(A, B, C, ..) and Special Character with/without number/character(1\2 , 1#, 1 D, etc..)
The sorting functionality is working fine for contents starts with both number and Character.(i.e  0, 1, 2, ...,9, A, B, C,... Z)
But the contents starts with Special Character with/without number/character is does not sort stable.
Example: 0, 1, 10, A, B....Z, 1/2, 1#, 2 D, A, B, ..Z(i.e its having two manner of sorting.. 0 to Z and again 1/2 to Z)

Pls can Anyone Help me


Thanks

Hi Akila,

I have tried to replicate the issue on my side, but to no avail. Please refer to the attached sample page and see how it works on your side.

Please have in mind that when sorting string values, RadGrid is using the standard .NET String.Compare method.

If you continue to experience issues with RadGrid sorting, please modify the DataTable from the attached sample page so it could replicate the described behavior.
