How to sort GridImageColumn

[SweetNerdyGirl]

Hi,

I am using SfDataGrid for displaying data. It consist of multiple GridTextColumn and one GridImageColumn. Among all these columns, only the GridImageColumn does not perform sorting even though Allow Sorting property is set to true. Nothing happens when clicking the column header. Sorting icon doesn't display either. Is it possible to sort this type of column? If so, how?

Thanks.

Hi Krystille, 

 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion Support, 

 

We have checked your query. Sorting cannot be made based on the images in SfDataGrid. Currently we do provide support for Sorting of images in GridImageColumn. 

 

Other columns like : GridTextColumn 

                                 GridNumericColumn 

                                 GridDateTimeColumn 

                                 GridTemplateColumn 

                                 GridSwitchColumn 

                                 GridPickerColumn can be sorted based on your requirement.

Can you give as an example for Sorting of images in GridImageColumn that you currently supported? Thank you.

Hi,

I just saw this thread and it seems we do have same requirements on our app.

Per your response, you mentioned that it is not yet supported.

However, is there a way that this functionality can be implemented? A hack something like that for us to be able to sort of GridImageCell?

Thank you.

Hi Joseph

We have checked your query. 

The images cannot be sorted in SfDataGrid. GridImageColumn does not support for sorting of images.

Hi, I know this is an old thread, but in case you encounter it through a search as I did, here is a workaround:

Create two columns: one GridImageColumn followed by a GridTextColumn, the first one display the image based on the MappingName of the second column, then do you regular sorting on the second column.

Hi There,

Can this not be achieved through custom sorting? I need to be able to sort a column that currently displays an image.

I'm currently following the documentation for custom sorting and its not working. I think its because I'm sorting on an Image Column but the documentation should make it clear that this is not possible.

If this is not supported then please could someone provide an estimate of how long it will take for it to be implemented into a subsequent release.

Many Thanks

Hi Sachin,

As we said earlier GridImageColumn cannot be sorted. So, how you expect the image column to be sorted on what aspect sorting should happen? if you explain clearly it would be easy for us to define the feature and analyze feasibility or workaround.
