GridControl sorting

[ian bradley]

Using the GridControl specifically, not one of the other grids, the sorting functionality seems very limited. Does anyone have any good examples of doing proper multi column sorting on it? There's an example here: sorting and filtering but the sorting doesn't work too well and has issues when you start combining it with filtering or dynamically changing data. I.e. having the sorting work when you insert a row.

Any suggestions? I'm looking for multi column sorting specifically rather than just one.

The demo doesn't seem to do multi column, but I think I've got everything working now :) Thank you :)

Hi Ian,

How did you solve the the multi-sort issue of the example you mentioned? The example seems to work but applies to all columns in the array the same sort order.

Thanks

Solved it. The code of the example just needs some slght changes: Store the desired ascending order in the Tag property and use the SortColumn as in the example but always with the "Descending" order. In the ICompare class use that same Tag property to either leave the value in "c" as returned by the Compare functions or negate it.
