Sorting Columns (Angular)

The FlexGrid control relies on the CollectionView class for sorting data.

Use the grid's allowSorting property to determine whether users should be able to sort the grid by clicking the column header cells:

AllowSorting.None: Users cannot sort the grid by clicking the column headers.

AllowSorting.SingleColumn: Users may sort the grid by a single column at a time. Clicking the column header sorts the column or flips the sort direction. Ctrl+Click removes the sort. (This is the default setting.)

AllowSorting.MultiColumn: Users may sort the grid by multiple columns at a time. Clicking the column header sorts the column or flips the sort direction. Ctrl+Click removes the sort for that column. Ctrl+Shift+Click removes all sorts.
