v7.5 - Automatically Sorting a data grid?Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Is there an easy way to automatically sort the records in a data grid? I have a grid that I want to sort by modify date, with the most recently modified record on the top of the list. I can enable sorting on the column, but I'd like it to sort automatically when the grid is displayed, or changed.

Thanks!

Jim, you'll need to put a couple of lines of code into a LoadAction. I have a write up of how to do that here: http://customerfx.com/pages/crmdeveloper/2009/03/26/setting-the-default-sort-for-a-datagrid-in-saleslogix-web-revisited.aspx

Ryan -

I'm having some trouble with the code sample (mostly due to my lack of skill in this area!)
***************
public static partial class AcProductSummaryEventHandlers
{
public static void grdCProductSummarysSort(IAcProductSummary form, EventArgs args)
{
System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridView grid = (System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridView)form.grdCProductSummarys.NativeControl;
grid.Sort("ModifyDate", SortDirection.Descending);
}
}
***************
When I attempt to build the web platform I get an error indicating that "The name 'SortDirection' does not exist in the current context".

I think that I understand all the components of the code, but I must be missing something. Thoughts?

Hi,

I had the same. The SortDirection is part of
System.Web.UI.WebControls.
So just write
System.Web.UI.WebControls.SortDirection
This would solve the error.
Hope this works as my grids are not getting sorted, might have something else wrong in my form.

My grids are not sorting either anymore (in 7.5.1) they did before the upgrade! I have the set default sort line in a quickformload as well...
