Namespace: DevExpress.Blazor

Assembly: DevExpress.Blazor.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Blazor

#Declaration

C#
public void SortBy(
    string columnFieldName,
    TreeListColumnSortOrder sortOrder
)

#Parameters

#Remarks

The SortBy method allows you to sort TreeList data in code regardless of the DxTreeList.AllowSort or DxTreeListDataColumn.AllowSort property value.

The following code snippet uses different method overloads:

@inject EmployeeTaskService EmployeeTaskService

<DxTreeList @ref="MyTreeList" Data="TreeListData" KeyFieldName="Id" ParentKeyFieldName="ParentId">
    <Columns>
        <DxTreeListDataColumn FieldName="Name" Caption="Task" />
        <DxTreeListDataColumn FieldName="EmployeeName" />
        <DxTreeListDataColumn FieldName="StartDate" />
        <DxTreeListDataColumn FieldName="DueDate" />
    </Columns>
</DxTreeList>

<DxButton Click="@(() => MyTreeList.SortBy("EmployeeName"))">Sort By Employee Name</DxButton>
<DxButton Click="@(() => MyTreeList.SortBy("EmployeeName", TreeListColumnSortOrder.Descending))">
    Sort By Employee Name (Descending Order)
</DxButton>
<DxButton Click="@(() => MyTreeList.SortBy("EmployeeName", TreeListColumnSortOrder.Descending, 0))">
    Sort By Employee Name (Descending Order, SortIndex = 0)
</DxButton>

@code {
    ITreeList MyTreeList { get; set; }
    List<EmployeeTask> TreeListData { get; set; }

    protected override void OnInitialized() {
        TreeListData = EmployeeTaskService.GenerateData();
    }
}
