How to sort the DataGridColumns programmatically using a picker in MAUI DataGrid (SfDataGrid)?
The .NET MAUI DataGrid (SfDataGrid) allows you to sort DataGridColumn based on the user option by selecting an option in the Picker by handling the SelectionIndexChanged event of the Picker. Sorting can be performed based on the Selected Index from the picker by modifying the SfDataGrid.SortColumnDescriptions collection.
Refer the below code example to add the columns to be sorted in a Picker.
XAML
<StackLayout>
<Picker x:Name="SelectionPicker"
Title="Choose"
HorizontalOptions="Start"
SelectedIndex="0"
SelectedIndexChanged="OnSelectionChanged"
WidthRequest="150">
<Picker.Items>
<x:String>Order ID</x:String>
<x:String>Customer ID</x:String>
<x:String>Freight</x:String>
<x:String>Country</x:String>
</Picker.Items>
</Picker>
<syncfusion:SfDataGrid x:Name="dataGrid"
ItemsSource="{Binding OrdersInfo}"
AutoGenerateColumnsMode="None"
VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand">
<syncfusion:SfDataGrid.Columns>
<syncfusion:DataGridNumericColumn MappingName="OrderID" HeaderText="Order ID" Format="d" />
<syncfusion:DataGridTextColumn MappingName="CustomerID" HeaderText="Customer ID"/>
<syncfusion:DataGridTextColumn MappingName="Freight" />
<syncfusion:DataGridTextColumn MappingName="Country"/>
</syncfusion:SfDataGrid.Columns>
</syncfusion:SfDataGrid>
</StackLayout>
C#
public void OnSelectionChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (SelectionPicker.SelectedIndex == 0)
{
this.dataGrid.SortColumnDescriptions.Clear();
this.dataGrid.SortColumnDescriptions.Add(new SortColumnDescription() { ColumnName = "OrderID" });
}
else if (SelectionPicker.SelectedIndex == 1)
{
this.dataGrid.SortColumnDescriptions.Clear();
this.dataGrid.SortColumnDescriptions.Add(new SortColumnDescription() { ColumnName = "CustomerID" });
}
else if (SelectionPicker.SelectedIndex == 2)
{
this.dataGrid.SortColumnDescriptions.Clear();
this.dataGrid.SortColumnDescriptions.Add(new SortColumnDescription() { ColumnName = "Freight" });
}
else if (SelectionPicker.SelectedIndex == 3)
{
this.dataGrid.SortColumnDescriptions.Clear();
this.dataGrid.SortColumnDescriptions.Add(new SortColumnDescription() { ColumnName = "Country" });
}
}
