ColumnBase.ActualAllowSorting Property

Gets whether an end-user can sort data by the column's values. This is a dependency property.

Namespace:DevExpress.Xpf.Grid
Assembly:DevExpress.Xpf.Grid.v19.2.Core.dll

Expanded Syntax

Property value

Type: Boolean
true if an end-user can sort data by the column's values; otherwise, false.

Expanded Remarks

If the column's AllowSorting property is set to 'Default', its behavior is controlled by the view's DataViewBase.AllowSorting property. In this case, to determine whether an end-user can actually sort data by the values of this column, use the ActualAllowSorting property.

To learn more, see Sorting.
