Remarks

In Layout View, end-users can sort data by clicking the Field Sort Button. If the AllowSort option sis set to true , data sorting is enabled. In this instance, it’s possible to prevent data sorting for specific card fields (columns) via the OptionsColumn.AllowSort option.

If the AllowSort property is set to false , Field Sort Button are hidden, so end-users cannot change the sort order. However, data can still be sorted in code.

For information on how end-users can sort data, see End-User Capabilities: Sorting.
