Namespace: DevExpress.Blazor

Assembly: DevExpress.Blazor.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Blazor

Declaration

public void SortBy(
    string columnFieldName,
    TreeListColumnSortOrder sortOrder,
    int sortIndex
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
columnFieldName	String	Specifies the name of the data source field that supplies data for the processed column. If the component does not contain the column that corresponds to the specified data field, an exception occurs.
sortOrder	TreeListColumnSortOrder	An enumeration value.

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:

Razor

@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>
