Property Paths

You can access this nested property as listed below:

Object Type	Path to AllowColumnSort
FileManagerSettingsFileList	.DetailsViewSettings .AllowColumnSort

Remarks

The file manager displays the file list in grid format when the FileManagerSettingsFileList.View property is set to Details. Use the AllowColumnSort property to control an end-users ability to sort data by clicking a column header.

Individual columns provide the FileManagerDetailsColumn.AllowSort option that enables you to override the default behavior.
