Value Sorting

11 Feb 20191 minute to read

IMPORTANT

This feature is applicable only for the relational datasource.

PivotClient provides support for value sorting that allows you to sort columns and rows based on value fields.

The headers of the column to be sorted are given in the HeaderText property under ValueSortSettings in field wise order separated by a string. The string which is used to separate the headers is given in the HeaderDelimiters property.

Also, you can sort the column by clicking the column header. By clicking the same header once again, the sorting direction will be reversed. The sorting operation is performed by the using the sortOrder property.

The following code snippet shows how to sort values in descending order.

JS

@Html.EJ().Pivot().PivotClient("PivotClient1").DataSource(dataSource => dataSource.Rows(rows => { rows.FieldName("Country").FieldCaption("Country").Add(); }).Columns(columns => { columns.FieldName("Product").FieldCaption("Product").Add(); }).Values(values => { values.FieldName("Amount").Add(); values.FieldName("Quantity").Add(); })).ValueSortSettings(valuesortsettings=>valuesortsettings.HeaderText("Bike##Quantity").HeaderDelimiters("##").SortOrder(SortOrder.Descending))
