How to: Sort Data Against Two or More Columns

  • Nov 13, 2018

The following example sorts data by two columns in a Grid View. The code is enclosed within calls to the ColumnView.BeginDataUpdate and BaseView.EndDataUpdate methods. This speeds up performance by sorting the data only once, after the BaseView.EndDataUpdate method is called.

csharp
gridView1.BeginDataUpdate();
    try {
        gridView1.ClearSorting();
        gridView1.Columns["Trademark"].SortOrder = DevExpress.Data.ColumnSortOrder.Ascending;
        gridView1.Columns["Model"].SortOrder = DevExpress.Data.ColumnSortOrder.Ascending;
    }
    finally {
        gridView1.EndDataUpdate();
    }
vb
gridView1.BeginDataUpdate()
    Try
        gridView1.ClearSorting()
        gridView1.Columns("Trademark").SortOrder = DevExpress.Data.ColumnSortOrder.Ascending
        gridView1.Columns("Model").SortOrder = DevExpress.Data.ColumnSortOrder.Ascending
    Finally
        gridView1.EndDataUpdate()
    End Try
