GridControl.SortBy(GridColumn) Method

Sorts data by the values of the specified column.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid.v14.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public void SortBy(
    GridColumn column
)

VB.NET

Public Sub SortBy(
    column As GridColumn
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
column	GridColumn	A GridColumn object that represents the column within the grid.

Remarks

The DXGrid for Silverlight control allows data sorting by multiple columns. Any previous sorting is not cleared when calling the SortBy method.

If the grid's data isn't sorted by the specified column, the SortBy method sorts data by its values in ascending order. The new sort order applies an additional sorting condition to the one previously applied. The grid creates a new GridSortInfo object with the specified settings and appends it to the GridControl.SortInfo collection.

End-users are allowed to sort data if the view's DataViewBase.AllowSorting property is set to true.
