Grouping

Updated on Sep 24, 2025

RadCardView allows grouping of its CardViewItems and it can be enabled by using the EnableGrouping property of the control. An example with custom grouping is demonstrated in the Populating Data Programmatically section of the Unbound Mode article.

Enable Grouping

C#
this.radCardView1.EnableGrouping = true;
this.radCardView1.ShowGroups = true;

Once the grouping is enabled, we have to create a new GroupDescriptor and assign its PropertyName and ListSortDirection. Let's group the items by Address in Descending direction.

Group by Column

C#
GroupDescriptor groupByAddress = new GroupDescriptor(new SortDescriptor[] {
     new SortDescriptor("Address", ListSortDirection.Descending),});
this.radCardView1.GroupDescriptors.Add(groupByAddress);
