Verify Sort Order in an HTML Table

I would like to sort a column in an HTML Table and verify the content is in the correct order.

Solution

This is possible with a coded solution. The example below is against this Telerik demo site.

Let's verify the first column, Order ID, is in sequential order:

C#

    //Get the table.
    HtmlTable table = Find.ByExpression<HtmlTable>("id=Grid", "|", "tagIndex=table:1");
    
    int r = table.Rows.Count;
    List<string> list = new List<string>();
    
    //Place the text content of the Order ID cell from each row into the string list.
    for (int i = 0; i < r; i++)
    {
        HtmlTableRow row = table.Rows[i];
        HtmlTableCell cell = row.Cells[0];  
        list.Add(cell.TextContent);
        Log.WriteLine(cell.TextContent);
    }
    
    //Assert each string in the list is greater than the string before it.
    for (int j = 0; j < list.Count; j++)
    {
        if (j+1 == list.Count)
        {
            break;
        }
        else
        {
            Assert.IsTrue(list[j+1].CompareTo(list[j]) >= 0);
        }
    }

VB

    Dim table As HtmlTable = Find.ByExpression(Of HtmlTable)("id=Grid", "|", "tagIndex=table:1")
    
    Dim r As Integer = table.Rows.Count
    Dim list As New List(Of String)()
    

    For i As Integer = 0 To r - 1
        Dim row As HtmlTableRow = table.Rows(i)
        Dim cell As HtmlTableCell = row.Cells(0)
        list.Add(cell.TextContent)
        Log.WriteLine(cell.TextContent)
    Next
    

    For j As Integer = 0 To list.Count - 1
        If j + 1 = list.Count Then
            Exit For
        Else
            Assert.IsTrue(list(j + 1).CompareTo(list(j)) >= 0)
        End If
    Next
