Grouping Order vs Sort Order

[Jason Southgate]

Hi,

In my GridGroupingControl, how can I make the SortedColumns override the GroupedColumns? Currently, I have say 25 elements to which I have assigned "SortOrder" values, grouped into 5 groups of 5, by say "Group#".

What happens currently is it sorts always on the "Group#" rather than the new SortOrder column I have made. Is there any way to give the SortedColumns priority over the GroupedColumns?? Or do I have to instead make "GroupSortOrder" and "ParentSortOrder" columns to accomodate this?

Thanks for your advice.

Jason Southgate.

Hi Jason,

there is no way to give the SortedColumns higher priority.

But what you can do is use a custom comparer. In that compare by your SortOrder values.

See the following KB for a custom Comparer with groups
