Grid column sort is almost mandatory in any Grid presentation. From the first day of our classic ASP product to today's DotNet version, we have received a lot of comment suggestions in this feature. The present configuration seems to satisfy everybody. The following is the list of options available -

• Fields to be sorted
• Initial order of sort fields.
• Sort fields Auto lineup left justify.
• User specified Sort SQL.
• Sort icons indicating current sort column and order.
• Select between ASC, DESC and No Sort. (click the active sort icon will turn it off and becomes No Sort)

Column Sort with Automatic LineUp

This example illustrates sorting columns is as easy as 1,2,3. Just specify which column to sorted in the property (0,1,2). This is not a single  column sort but a multiple fields sort. Click the arrow and the sort field will be selected or appended. Click the opposite direction and the field's sort order will change but order position will maintain. Click the arrow of same direction will delete the sort field. Note that with the dbSortColLeftJustify (sclj) option, the columns will be shifted to the left according to sort order.
