Sort datagrid

[sam]

Hello Group,
I have a datagrid which needs to be sorted but the column
headers should not be clickable on certain conditions( say on the
"print version" of the page). The simple piece of code used is :

dgwip.allowsorting=true
dgWIP.DataSource = dvWIP
dvWIP.Sort = Me.SortColumn & " " & Me.SortOrder
dgWIP.DataBind()
**dgwip.allowsorting=false

Since, I need to sort the datagrid and disable the column headers
after the sort, I disable the allowsorting property after the databind
but that does not seem to do the job. Not sure, how to go about it.

Any help would be great!!


Thanks,
Sam.

From your description, the special conditions that preclude sorting also
require a post back or new page. If you can track when this is true, then
you can disallow sorting. For example, the "Print Version" is obvoiusly a
special case rendering of the page, so you can track it and disallow sorting
when it is true.

Hi


I have one question, can i sort DataGrid with two parameters ?
that's mind if i have three columns in dataggrid: First Name, Last
Name, Office

John, Smith, New York
John, Johnson, Oklahoma
Jeff, Jhonson, New York
Mug, Gates, New York

and when i click sort to Office i have sorted data but i have on more
Offices with this same Name, so i want when i sorted by Office the
second parameters sort with example Last Name.

The result i want:

Mug, Gates, New York
Jeff, Jhonson, New York
John, Smith, New York
John, Johnson, Oklahoma

Big tx for all answers

This functionality isn't built in, you will have to custom build it. One
approach is to use the dataview object and pass in the multi-column sort
