DxGrid.CustomSort Event

Allows you to implement custom logic used to sort data in the grid.

Namespace : DevExpress.Blazor

Assembly : DevExpress.Blazor.v25.2.dll

NuGet Package : DevExpress.Blazor

Declaration

csharp
[Parameter]
public Action<GridCustomSortEventArgs> CustomSort { get; set; }

Parameters

TypeDescription
GridCustomSortEventArgs

Provides access to grid data.

|

Remarks

Follow the steps below to implement custom logic used to sort data in the DxGrid.

  1. Set the SortMode property to Custom.

  2. Handle the CustomSort event to implement your logic that compares column values. When the event fires, the component compares two row values: the Value1 and Value2 properties. To define the column’s sort algorithm, set the Result property to one of the following values:

  3. Set the Handled property to true to indicate that the current comparison operation is handled. If the value is set to false, the component ignores the result of the custom comparison and uses the default mechanism to compare item values.

Limitations

Example

The following code snippet implements custom logic to sort the Order Date column’s values without taking into account the year part of the date.

razor
@using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore
@inject IDbContextFactory<NorthwindContext> NorthwindContextFactory
@implements IDisposable

<DxGrid Data="GridDataSource"
        CustomSort="OnCustomSort">
    <Columns>
        <DxGridDataColumn FieldName="OrderDate"
                          DisplayFormat="d"
                          SortIndex="1"
                          SortMode="GridColumnSortMode.Custom"/>
        <DxGridDataColumn FieldName="ShipName" />
        <DxGridDataColumn FieldName="ShipCity" />
        <DxGridDataColumn FieldName="Freight"
                          DisplayFormat="n2"/>
    </Columns>
</DxGrid>

@code {
    object GridDataSource { get; set; }
    NorthwindContext Northwind { get; set; }

    protected override void OnInitialized() {
        Northwind = NorthwindContextFactory.CreateDbContext();
        GridDataSource = Northwind.Orders.ToList();
    }

    void OnCustomSort(GridCustomSortEventArgs e) {
        if(e.FieldName == "OrderDate") {
            var date1 = Convert.ToDateTime(e.Value1);
            var date2 = Convert.ToDateTime(e.Value2);

            if(date1.Month == date2.Month)
                e.Result = date1.Day.Compare(date2.Day);
            else
                e.Result = date1.Month.Compare(date2.Month);
            e.Handled = true;
        }
    }
