  Hello,

  I have a FlexGrid in a Xamarin Forms project for Android and need to set word wrap on a couple of columns. The grid loads as expected using the AutoSizeRows after binding the ItemSource. However, if I tap on one of the column headers to sort, the grid returns with the default row height. I’m trying to find a ‘sort changed’ event, so I can apply the AutoSizeRows.

  I found an older forum post that shows how to create an event from the grid’s CollectionView, but that seems outdated (I’m using 4.3.20193.437). I also tried similar using the grid’s DataCollection object, but none of my attempts catch the event.

  Any suggestions?

  Thanks!

  You can attach the SortChanged event in the DataCollection of the FlexGrid and capture it accordingly to apply AutoSizeRows.

    
         grid.DataCollection.AttachSortChanged(SortChanged);
  
          private void SortChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
          {
              // apply auto size rows
          }
  
  

  Please let me know if you need any other help.

  Thanks
