Parameters

Name	Type	Description

Remarks

The ASPxGridView allows data sorting by multiple columns. Any previous sorting is not cleared when calling the SortBy method. The newly sorted column is inserted at the specified position within the collection of sorted columns. Its position within the collection can then be changed using the GridViewDataColumn.SortIndex property.

Sorting is allowed if the ASPxGridBehaviorSettings.AllowSort property is set to true.
