Sorting of Average data shown in Summary In Caption

Hi,

In your examples for "Summary In Caption" for GridGroupingControl (http://www2.syncfusion.com/syncfusion2_0/Web/Grid.Grouping.Web/samples/2.0/Summaries/SummaryInCaption/cs/SummaryInCaption.aspx), how can I sort descending order only for the Average Freight values for a given group?

What I would like to see is Ship via grouping is closed and the average Frieght values are sorted in descending order. I donot want the individual values inside a group be sorted.

Please provide a sample.

Thanks,

Rekha

Hi Rekha,

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion products.

Essential Grid web allows you to sort the groups by the value of a summary.

This can be achieved by specifying your own comparer using GroupSortOrderComparer of SortColumnDescriptor . Or You can use SetGroupSummarySortOrder method of SortColumnDescriptor.

The following code snippet illustrates this.

[C#]

SortColumnDescriptor gsd = new SortColumnDescriptor("ShipVia");
gsd.SetGroupSummarySortOrder(summaryColumn2.GetSummaryDescriptorName(), "FreightTotalAvg");

//gsd.GroupSortOrderComparer = new CustomComparer(summaryColumn1.GetSummaryDescriptorName(), "FreightTotalAvg");

this.GridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.GroupedColumns.Add(gsd);

You can also specify the sort order using SortDirection of SortColumnDescriptor .

Please refer the sample in the below link on sorting summary values.

[Note : When you click on plus symbol , grid show with descending order of summary fields. ]

Please let me know if this helps you.
