SortIndicator Enumeration

Used to specify the method that should be used to sort the column.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Enum SortIndicator 
   Inherits System.Enum
public enum SortIndicator : System.Enum
Members
MemberDescription
AscendingAscending. The column should be sorted in ascending order.
DescendingDescending. The column should be sorted in descending order.
DisabledDisabled. Sorting should be disabled for the column.
NoneNone. The column should not be sorted.
Remarks

The SortIndicator enum is used for specifying the Column's UltraGridColumn.SortIndicator property. To allow the user to sort the columns set the UltraGridOverride.HeaderClickAction property of the Override object to SortSingle or SortMulti. This will allow the user to sort rows by a column by clicking on the column's header. To sort the rows by one or more columns in code, add the columns to the Band's UltraGridBand.SortedColumns collection.

Example
Following code shows how to programmatically sort rows. SortIndicator property returns the current state of sorting on the column. If the column is sorted, then it returns either Ascending or Descending depending on how the column is sorted. It returns None if the column is not sorted. It can also return Disabled if the property was set to that value previously. You can also set the property to change it's sort status. For example, you can set the property to Ascending and Descending to sort row by the column. You can set it to None to clear sorting. You can set it to Disabled to prevent the user from sorting by that column.
