FeatureDataGrid initial sort column

MattPratap

Hello,

Perhaps this has been covered elsewhere but I found a way of having an initial sorted column in a FeatureDataGrid. 

myFeatureDataGrid.AutoGeneratingColumn += (evtsender, args) =>
{ 
    //sort by a specific column, ascending
    if (args.PropertyName.Equals("myFieldToHaveInitialSort"))
    {
        ((PagedCollectionView)myFeatureDataGrid.ItemsSource).SortDescriptions.Add(new SortDescription(args.PropertyName, ListSortDirection.Ascending));
    }
};
myFeatureDataGrid.GraphicsLayer = myGraphicsLayer;

If there is any better or more concise way to programmatically have an initial sort column, please let me know.

Thanks

Awesome friend!  I was looking into this very thing today, glad I found this.  Worked like a charm.

To add to the solution for others seeking it, you need to add a reference to System.Windows.Data, then:
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Windows.Data;

The PropertyName is the sorting field.
