LinqServerModeDataSource.DefaultSorting Property

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.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Core

#Declaration

public string DefaultSorting { get; set; }

#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).

dataSource.DefaultSorting = "UnitPrice DESC";

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

dataSource.DefaultSorting = "Name";

Multiple columns can be separated by semicolons.

dataSource.DefaultSorting = "UnitPrice DESC; Name";

Note

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