GridViewDataColumn.SortOrder Property
Specifies the column’s sort order.
Namespace: DevExpress.Web
Assembly: DevExpress.Web.v24.2.dll
Declaration
[DefaultValue(ColumnSortOrder.None)]
public virtual ColumnSortOrder SortOrder { get; set; }Property Value
| Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ColumnSortOrder | None | The column’s sort order. |
Available values:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| None | No sorting is applied to a column. |
| Ascending | Sorts the column in ascending order. |
| Descending | Sorts the columns in descending order. |
Remarks
The SortOrder property allows you to specify the column’s sort order:
When you change the sort order, the control keeps the previous sort settings and applies an additional condition.
When you specify the
SortOrderproperty for a non-sorted column, the control adds this column to the collection of sorted columns and applies the specified sort order to the column.
You can also use the following methods to change or disable the column’s sort order:
- SortAscending()
- Sorts the column in ascending order.
- SortDescending()
- Sorts the column in descending order.
- UnSort()
- Clears the sorting applied to the column.
