VB.NET

<DefaultValue(DefaultBoolean.Default)>
Public Property AllowSort As DefaultBoolean

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
DefaultBoolean	Default	True to enable sorting. False to disable sorting. Default to control the column’s behavior at the control level (the ASPxGridBehaviorSettings.AllowSort property).

Available values:

Name	Description	Return Value
True	The value is true.	0
False	The value is false.	1
Default	The value is specified by a global option or a higher-level object.	2

If the column’s AllowSort property is set to Default, the control determines the column’s behavior at the control level, based on the ASPxGridBehaviorSettings.AllowSort property value.
