public void SortBy(
    GridColumn column,

    int sortedIndex
)

VB.NET

Public Sub SortBy(
    column As GridColumn,
    sortedOrder As ColumnSortOrder,
    sortedIndex As Integer
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
column	GridColumn	A column within the GridControl.
sortedOrder	ColumnSortOrder	Sort order of the specified column.
sortedIndex	Int32	The index of the specified sort condition within the GridSortInfoCollection.

Remarks

The GridControl allows you to sort data against multiple columns. Call the SortBy method to apply a new sort condition. The GridControl creates a new GridSortInfo object that stores sort parameters, and appends this object to the GridSortInfoCollection. The sort operation result depends on the order of the applied conditions within the collection. If the GridSortInfoCollection already contains a sort condition for the specified column, the GridControl replaces this condition with a new condition.

If the sortedIndex parameter exceeds the index of the last element within the GridSortInfoCollection, the GridControl appends the GridSortInfo object to the collection. Pass a negative value as the sortedIndex parameter to remove the applied sort condition.
