Sortable Property

Description

Specifies whether the column can be sorted when the user clicks on the column header.

Property Type

Read-write property

Syntax (Visual Basic)

Public Property Sortable() As Boolean

Remarks

If TRUE, records can be sorted by this column by clicking on the column header. Each time the column header is clicked, the sort order will toggle between ascending and descending. By default, Sortable is TRUE.

If FALSE, records cannot be sorted by this column by clicking on the column header. The column can still be sorted, but not by clicking on the column header. If you would like to sort the column when Sortable is FALSE, then you can add the column to the GridControl's SortOrder. This will allow you to keep a column sorted at all times.

Example
