Too many spaces in field definition

[digitall]

I am using the latest version of RadControls (2011.2.712.40) and am running into a confusing issue. I have a grid defined with a GroupByExpression like so:

<GroupByExpressions>
    <telerik:GridGroupByExpression>
        <GroupByFields>
            <telerik:GridGroupByField FieldAlias="Status" FieldName="RealStatus" SortOrder="Descending" />
        </GroupByFields>
        <SelectFields>
            <telerik:GridGroupByField FieldAlias="Status" FieldName="RealStatus" />
        </SelectFields>
    </telerik:GridGroupByExpression>
</GroupByExpressions>

When the page loads the grid looks exactly how I want it to, however when I hit the "Add" link (auto-generated in the Command header along with a Refresh link) I get "Too many spaces in field definition: ' RealStatus Status DESC'."

Since the page initially loads fine and only postbacks cause it to die I have no clue what could cause this. If I don't have the SortOrder specified postbacks function as expected (albeit in the wrong order) which is even more confusing.

Any ideas?

Hello,

The GroupBYExpressions should be as follows. Only the GroupByFields declaration can contain SortOrder. Respectively, only for the SelectFields should be set Alias.
aspx:

<GroupByExpressions>
    <telerik:GridGroupByExpression>
        <GroupByFields>
            <telerik:GridGroupByField  FieldName="RealStatus" SortOrder="Descending" />
        </GroupByFields>
        <SelectFields>
            <telerik:GridGroupByField FieldAlias="Status" FieldName="RealStatus" />
        </SelectFields>
    </telerik:GridGroupByExpression>
</GroupByExpressions>

Also check the following documentation which contains the information about the group by expression syntax.
Declarative Definition.

Thanks,

I always get it confused as to what can/can't be where with the GroupByExpression's. Thanks for the help!
