GridViewColumnState.SortIndex Property

Gets or sets the column’s position among sorted columns.

Namespace: DevExpress.Web.Mvc

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.Mvc5.v18.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public int SortIndex { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property SortIndex As Integer

Property Value

Type	Description
Int32	An integer value that specifies the zero-based column’s index among sorted columns. -1 if data is not sorted by this column.

Remarks

The GridView allows data sorting by multiple columns. Once a column is sorted, it is automatically added to the collection of sorted columns. If no columns were previously sorted, the column becomes the only element in the collection and gets the 0 sort index. If sorting by more than one column, the newly sorted column is appended to the collection and gets an index of 1, etc.
