Specifies how data source contents are sorted, by default, when the sort order is not specified by the bound control. This is a dependency property.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Core.ServerMode

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Core.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Core

Declaration

Public Property DefaultSorting As String

Property Value

Type	Description
String	The string which contains the column name(s) against which data source contents are sorted and the sort order(s).

Remarks

The DefaultSorting property accepts a string containing a column name followed by the sort order - “ASC” (ascending) or “DESC” (descending).

C#

dataSource.DefaultSorting = "UnitPrice DESC";

Columns are sorted ascending by default - “ASC” can be omitted.

C#

dataSource.DefaultSorting = "Name";

Multiple columns can be separated by semicolons.

C#

dataSource.DefaultSorting = "UnitPrice DESC; Name";

Note

The DefaultSorting property must be specified before the EntityServerModeDataSource is bound to a data-aware control (e.g. DXGrid).
