Hello,

I have a GridView with GroupComparer and it works fine, but if I add EnableCustomSorting true, the GroupComparer stops working, it's not called by GridView anymore. Could you please advise how to make it work together.

 

public Form1()
{
  InitializeComponent();
 
  DataTable dt = new DataTable();
  dt.Columns.Add( "A", typeof( string ) );
 
  this.radGridView1.Columns.Add( "A" );
  this.radGridView1.Columns.Add( "B" );
 
  this.radGridView1.Rows.Add( "1", "1");
  this.radGridView1.Rows.Add( "2", "2" );
  this.radGridView1.Rows.Add( "10", "10" );
 
  this.radGridView1.MasterTemplate.GroupComparer = new GroupComparer();
 
  this.radGridView1.CustomSorting += RadGridView1_CustomSorting;
  this.radGridView1.EnableCustomSorting = true; //if true, GroupComparer stop working
}
 
private void RadGridView1_CustomSorting( object sender, GridViewCustomSortingEventArgs e )
{
  //logic to sort columns.
}
 
public class GroupComparer : IComparer<Group<GridViewRowInfo>>
{
  public int Compare( Group<GridViewRowInfo> x, Group<GridViewRowInfo> y )
  {
    int parsedX;
    int parsedY;
    if ( int.TryParse( ( (object[])x.Key ).First().ToString(), out parsedX ) &&
        int.TryParse( ( (object[])y.Key ).First().ToString(), out parsedY ) )
    {
      int result = parsedX.CompareTo( parsedY );
      DataGroup xGroup = x as DataGroup;
      if ( xGroup != null && ( (DataGroup)x ).GroupDescriptor.GroupNames.First().Direction == ListSortDirection.Descending )
      {
        result *= -1;
      }
      return result;
    }
    return ( (object[])x.Key )[0].ToString().CompareTo( ( (object[])y.Key )[0].ToString() );
  }
}

Hello, Thomas,   

When you set the EnableCustomSorting property to true, the MasterTemplate.GroupComparer gets reset. That is why the custom comparer is not used. If you want to enable the custom sorting functionality and still keep using the custom group comparer, feel free to set the MasterTemplate.GroupComparer property after setting the EnableCustomSorting property to true:  
            this.radGridView1.CustomSorting += RadGridView1_CustomSorting;
            this.radGridView1.EnableCustomSorting = true;  

            this.radGridView1.MasterTemplate.GroupComparer = new GroupComparer();
I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.
