GroupBy (Column without sorting).
posted
Hi, I have already grouped data from database and order by different column than the one that is used for groupping. Now when I set this group by column to be in grids groupByBox (when I grouped by it) it always uses sorting desc/asc...but I want this data ordering to stay unchanged (aka not sorted by groups). Please is there any way to still show groups by one column and not to do sorting by groups? Thank You very much! Igor

     Grouping and sorting are tightly linked. The grid needs to sort in order to group thae data together. If you try to group and the rows that have the same values are not next to each other, then they will not be grouped. 

    You might be able to get around this if you set the column's SortIndicator to one of the "External" options. But this has other ramifications.
