    column As GridColumn,
    sortedOrder As ColumnSortOrder,
    sortedIndex As Integer
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
column	GridColumn	A GridColumn object that represents the column within the grid.
sortedOrder	ColumnSortOrder	A ColumnSortOrder enumeration value that specifies the column's sort order.
sortedIndex	Int32	An integer value that specifies the zero-based column's index among the sorted columns.

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 the specified 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 inserts it into the GridControl.SortInfo collection at the position specified by the sortedIndex parameter. If this parameter is negative, or exceeds the index of the last element within the GridControl.SortInfo collection, the GridSortInfo object is appended to the collection.

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