How to sort a QuantumGrid on data from a different column

Question

Is there a way to sort Devexpress QuantumGrid rows on data from a different column other than the one whose header has been clicked? For example, when the header of column A is clicked the rows of the grid are sorted on the data from column B. Visually it should still appear that it is column A that has been sorted as the sort glyphys will be shown in column A's header.

@norgepaul you must check the DevExpress Support Center for the questions related to the DevExress products, This site has thousands of answers and articles related to its products.

Answer 2

I don't have DevExpress here to check, but i would look to see if there is a custom sort event. like OnCustomSort, where you get to decide whether a value or cell sorts higher or lower. I think you'll have the ability to know what rows are being compared, so you could look across to B cells, and make your own comparision.
