Drop Down List Reset to alphabetically (A-Z) Sorting

[FARIHAH BINTI MOKHTARUDDIN]

Hi all.

I got problem where i need to sort 'Designation' according to seniority and not by alphabetically (A-Z).

I already sort it at stored procedure. (Refer attachment)

But when return view. The designation still sort it according to alphabetically (A-Z). (Refer attachment)

Hi Farihah, 

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support. 

We have prepared a sample and validate your reported case. But, we were unable to find out the exact root cause of your reported issue. Based on your shared details, we suspect that the assigned data will be sorted before return to view or DropDownList’s SortOrder may assigned as Ascending.  

So , please ensure the both cases in your end. 

 

Code behind 

<code> 

 

public IActionResult Index() 

        { 

            ViewBag.data = new Vegetables().VegetablesList(); 

 

            //ViewBag.sort = "Ascending"; 

            ViewBag.sort = "None"; 

            return View(); 

        } 

 

</code> 

 

Data: 

<code> 

 

public class Vegetables 

    { 

        public string Vegetable { get; set; } 

        public string Category { get; set; } 

        public string Id { get; set; } 

        public List<Vegetables> VegetablesList() 

        { 

            List<Vegetables> veg = new List<Vegetables>(); 

            veg.Add(new Vegetables { Vegetable = "Yarrow", Category = "Leafy and Salad", Id = "item11" }); 

            veg.Add(new Vegetables { Vegetable = "Wheat grass", Category = "Leafy and Salad", Id = "item10" }); 

            veg.Add(new Vegetables { Vegetable = "Cabbage", Category = "Leafy and Salad", Id = "item1" }); 

            veg.Add(new Vegetables { Vegetable = "Chickpea", Category = "Beans", Id = "item2" }); 

            veg.Add(new Vegetables { Vegetable = "Garlic", Category = "Bulb and Stem", Id = "item3" }); 

            veg.Add(new Vegetables { Vegetable = "Green bean", Category = "Beans", Id = "item4" }); 

            veg.Add(new Vegetables { Vegetable = "Horse gram", Category = "Beans", Id = "item5" }); 

            veg.Add(new Vegetables { Vegetable = "Nopal", Category = "Bulb and Stem", Id = "item6" }); 

            veg.Add(new Vegetables { Vegetable = "Onion", Category = "Bulb and Stem", Id = "item7" }); 

            veg.Add(new Vegetables { Vegetable = "Pumpkins", Category = "Leafy and Salad", Id = "item8" }); 

            veg.Add(new Vegetables { Vegetable = "Spinach", Category = "Leafy and Salad", Id = "item9" }); 

             

             

            return veg; 

        } 

    }
