Hi Andreas, Are you referring to the AlphabeticalPaging sample in the ASP.NET version of Essential Grid? In that sample you can sort by: this.GridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.SortedColumns.Add("ContactName"); or this.GridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.SortedColumns.Add("ContactName", System.ComponentModel.ListSortDirection.Ascending); Regards Arun

Hi Mr. Arun, I tried the sample from VB.Net Essential Grid and I don''t want to give a Contactname like the sample. In this sample I get some B-Values (B3,B7,B13,B2) and after the sorting I get the new order B2,B3,B7,B13. Now I want to give not the Contactname "B", I want sort the values like B5,A7,V3,D9 to A7,B5,D9,V3 (from A to Z) or numbers like 34,23,78,44 to 23,34,44,78. Is it possible? How I have to descripe the contactname? P.S. I want to combine this module with the ExcelRW-module to show the values and for save in a xls-format. I think that should be possible.

Hi Andreas, the sorting in the WebGrid works the same as found in the GridGroupingControl for Windows Forms. You can specify a custom comparer for the column you sort by. Is that something you want to do? See the following KB for a custom Comparer http://www.syncfusion.com/Support/article.aspx?id=10507 The same logic can be applied to a web grid. But let me know if I misunserstood your requirements. Thanks, Stefan >Hi Mr. Arun, > >I tried the sample from VB.Net Essential Grid and I don''t want to give a Contactname like the sample.
