SeriesBase.SeriesPointsSorting Property

Gets or sets the sort order of the series’ points.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraCharts

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraCharts.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Charts

Declaration

[XtraChartsLocalizableCategory(XtraChartsCategory.Behavior)]
[XtraSerializableProperty]
public SortingMode SeriesPointsSorting { get; set; }

Property Value

Type Description
SortingMode

A SortingMode enumeration value.

Available values:

Name Description
None

The values are not sorted.

Ascending

The values are sorted in ascending order.

Descending

The values are sorted in descending order.

Remarks

The Chart Control can sort series points based on their arguments or data values, specified in the SeriesBase.SeriesPointsSortingKey property. Use the SeriesPointsSorting property to choose the sort mode for data points.

When there are multiple series with the same arguments in the chart’s collection, and a sort order is applied to one of these series, points are sorted within all series.

Note

If series have different point arguments, the Chart Control sorts points within a single series only. Use the QualitativeScaleComparer to sort all series in this case.

The following images demonstrate the three modes available for the SeriesPointsSorting property, with the series points sorted by their values.

SeriesPointsSorting = None

SeriesPointsSorting = Ascending

SeriesPointsSortingKey = Value_1

SeriesPointsSorting = Descending

SeriesPointsSortingKey = Value_1

SeriesPointSorting_none

SeriesPointSorting_ascend

SeriesPointSorting_descend
