Type	Description
String	A String value that specifies the PivotGridField.FieldName of the field whose summary values define the order in which the field’s values are arranged.

Remarks

To sort data by summaries, do the following:

• Use the PivotGridField.SortByField or PivotGridField.SortByFieldName property to specify a field (typically a data field) against which summary values should be calculated. If the PivotGridField.SortByField property is used, the summary type is specified by this field’s PivotGridField.SummaryType property. If the PivotGridField.SortByFieldName property is used, the required summary type should be specified using the PivotGridField.SortBySummaryType property.
• To sort data according to an individual column or row, you need to specify the column or row via the PivotGridField.SortByConditions collection. Do this by adding items to this collection, each of which identifies a specific field and its value.
