Syncfusion.Grouping.SortColumnDescriptor

[Johnny Nguyen]

I am able to get the sort descriptors but how do I set the sort descriptors?

Dim a() As Syncfusion.Grouping.SortColumnDescriptor = Me.ggcOrders.Table.TableDescriptor.GetSortDescriptors()

[Johnny Nguyen]

Basically, I want to call the same functions that are executed when I clicked on a column to sort. Is this possible? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Johnny,

Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion Products.

1) The sort descriptors can be set through the SortedColumns property. Please refer to the following lines of code.

Me.gridGroupingControl1.DataSource = CreateTable()
Dim s1 As SortColumnDescriptor = New SortColumnDescriptor("Department")
Dim s2 As SortColumnDescriptor = New SortColumnDescriptor("StudentID")
Dim col As SortColumnDescriptor() = New SortColumnDescriptor() {s1, s2}
Me.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.SortedColumns.AddRange(col)

2) When the column header is clicked, two sorting events get triggerred, TableDescriptor.SortedColumns.Changed and TableDescriptor.SortedColumns.Changing. Through these events, the sort details of that column can be retrieved.
