Specifies the CollectionSourceBase.Collection‘s sort settings.

Namespace: DevExpress.ExpressApp

Assembly: DevExpress.ExpressApp.v23.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.ExpressApp

Declaration

C#

public IList<SortProperty> Sorting { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property Sorting As IList(Of SortProperty)

Property Value

Type	Description
IList<SortProperty>	A list of SortProperty objects specifying the collection’s sort settings.

Remarks

When you add/remove the Sorting list items, sorting is immediately applied to the inner collection. Do not add several elements one after another. Instead, populate a temporary SortProperty list and then assign it to Sorting. The example below is taken from the ListView.LoadModelCore method implementation.

C#

List<SortProperty> sorting = new List<SortProperty>();
foreach(IModelSortProperty sortProperty in Model.Sorting) {
    sorting.Add(new SortProperty(sortProperty.PropertyName, sortProperty.Direction));
}
collectionSource.Sorting = sorting;

VB.NET

Dim sorting As New List(Of SortProperty)()
For Each sortProperty As IModelSortProperty In Model.Sorting
    sorting.Add(New SortProperty(sortProperty.PropertyName, sortProperty.Direction))
Next sortProperty
collectionSource.Sorting = sorting

In this instance, all SortProperty items will be applied simultaneously.
