I would like to handle sorting in a custom way. I know I can use Sorting event for this and set e.Cancel = true. This way I can stop grid from performing sorting on its own.
The problem is that I would still like to have a sorting indicator in the header (near label). I can accomplish that by adding following line to the Sorting event handler:
e.FieldLayout.SortedFields.Add(e.SortDescription);
but after that the default sorting mechanism executes despite setting e.Cancel = true. What's your ideas on that?

Hi
I am facing a similar issue. I am sorting the grid in the code, and binding the result to the grid. I have looked at your samples, and figured how to prevent the grid from executing the sort and also to show the sort indicator without adding sort descriptions to the grid in code.
But i am not able to figure out how to change the Sort Indicator to correspond to the Sort Direction. Right now when i make the Sort Indicator visible it always shows the Sort indicator as Descending. I was also relying on the Sort Status value changing in the xaml to change the color of the column header when it is sorted on.
I want to show the right Sort Indicator based on the actual sort direction. I wont be able to add the Sort Description to the grid since i dont want the grid to sort on the clicked field. Back end code sorts on a different field when user clicks to sort the field. So adding Sort descriptions and letting the grid do the sorting will mess up the Sort order.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks
