Data Grid sorting for organized workflows
Sorting helps organize information, compare values, and focus on the most relevant records without changing the original data.

Sort by column
Arrange records in ascending or descending order based on values from a single column.

Sort across multiple columns
Apply sorting to multiple columns to create structured and consistent record ordering.

Control sort order
Define custom sorting behavior and control how records are ordered based on specific business needs.
Single and multi-column sorting
Sort records using one or more columns to create a consistent view of information. Apply multiple sorting levels when records require structured comparison.
- Support single-column sorting based on one field.
- Enable multi-column sorting with multiple sorting levels.
- Provide ascending or descending sort directions.
- Ensure structured record ordering for data review.


Flexible sorting logic
Control how records are ordered by applying custom sorting logic and handling special values such as null or empty entries. Adapt sorting to match specific business scenarios.
- Support custom sorting logic for specialized ordering.
- Enable null value handling to control empty-record placement.
- Provide data-type-aware sorting for column content.
- Ensure sorting behavior aligns with business rules.
Server-side sorting
Process sorting operations on remote data sources and return records in the required order. Suitable for large datasets stored in external systems.
- Support remote processing for server-side sorting operations.
- Enable sorting for large datasets stored in external systems.
- Reduce client workload by processing sorting remotely.
- Maintain scalable data handling as record collections grow.
