SortingMode Enum
Lists the values used to specify how series or points can be sorted.
Namespace: DevExpress.XtraCharts
Assembly: DevExpress.XtraCharts.v24.1.dll
NuGet Package: DevExpress.Charts
Declaration
[ResourceFinder(typeof(XtraChartsResFinder), "PropertyNamesRes")]
[TypeConverter(typeof(EnumTypeConverter))]
public enum SortingModeMembers
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
None
|
The values are not sorted. |
Ascending
|
The values are sorted in ascending order. |
Descending
|
The values are sorted in descending order. |
Remarks
The values listed by this enumeration are used to set the ChartControl.SeriesSorting and SeriesBase.PointsSorting properties.
Example
The following example shows how to create a Pie chart at runtime.
The Chart Control uses the Simple Diagram to display pies. Cast the ChartControl.Diagram property to the SimpleDiagram type to access diagram settings. The Chart Control determines the diagram type based on the series that is added first. We recommend that you access the diagram to configure its settings after at least one series is added to the chart.
To access pie series view settings, cast the SeriesBase.View property to the PieSeriesView type.
