DataControlBase.SortBy(String) Method

Sorts data by the values of the specified column.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid.v23.2.Core.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Grid.Core

Declaration

C#

public void SortBy(
    string fieldName
)

VB.NET

Public Sub SortBy(
    fieldName As String
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
fieldName	String	A String value that specifies the column’s field name.

Remarks

Data can be sorted by multiple columns. Any previous sorting is not cleared when calling the SortBy method.

If the control’s data is not 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 control creates a new GridSortInfo object with the specified settings, and appends it to the GridControl.SortInfo collection. Otherwise, if data is already sorted by the specified column, the SortBy method does nothing.

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