Declaration

C#

public void SortBy(
    TreeListColumn column,
    ColumnSortOrder sortOrder,
    int sortIndex
)

VB.NET

Public Sub SortBy(
    column As TreeListColumn,
    sortOrder As ColumnSortOrder,
    sortIndex As Integer
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
column	TreeListColumn	A column within the TreeListControl.
sortOrder	ColumnSortOrder	Sort order of the specified column.
sortIndex	Int32	The index of the specified sort condition within the TreeListSortInfoCollection.

Remarks

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

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