How to refresh sorting when items source collection changed dynamically in .NET MAUI DataGrid SfDataGrid?

This article explains how to refresh sorting when the bound collection is updated dynamically in the Syncfusion .NET MAUI DataGrid.

When setting sorting on a column using SortColumnDescription, set the LiveDataUpdateMode property to AllowDataShaping to reapply the sorting when the underlying collection is modified dynamically.

Xaml

 <ContentPage.BindingContext>
    <local:OrderInfoRepository x:Name="viewModel" />
</ContentPage.BindingContext>

<Grid RowDefinitions="50,*">
    <Button Text="ChangeCollection"
         Clicked="Button_Clicked" />
    
    <syncfusion:SfDataGrid x:Name="dataGrid" Grid.Row="1" LiveDataUpdateMode="AllowDataShaping"
                        ItemsSource="{Binding OrderInfoCollection}">
        <syncfusion:SfDataGrid.Columns>
            <syncfusion:DataGridTextColumn MappingName="OrderID"
                                        HeaderText="Order ID" />
        </syncfusion:SfDataGrid.Columns>
        <syncfusion:SfDataGrid.SortColumnDescriptions>
            <syncfusion:SortColumnDescription ColumnName="OrderID"
                                           SortDirection="Descending" />
        </syncfusion:SfDataGrid.SortColumnDescriptions>
    </syncfusion:SfDataGrid>
</Grid>

Xaml.cs

public partial class MainPage : ContentPage
{
    public MainPage()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    private void Button_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        viewModel.OrderInfoCollection.Clear();
        viewModel.ChangeCollection();
    }
}

OrderInfoRepository.cs

public void ChangeCollection()
{
    orderInfo.Add(new OrderInfo("2001", "Selena Alvarad", "Sweden", "BERGS", "London"));
    orderInfo.Add(new OrderInfo("2002", "Sandra Altamirano", "Mexico", "ANATR", "Mexico D.F."));
    orderInfo.Add(new OrderInfo("2003", "Oscar Alpuerto", "France", "BLONP", "Strasbourg"));
    orderInfo.Add(new OrderInfo("2004", "Cecil Allison", "UK", "AROUT", "London"));
    orderInfo.Add(new OrderInfo("2005", "Tim Adams", "Germany", "ALFKI", "Berlin"));
    orderInfo.Add(new OrderInfo("2006", "Michael Allen", "Canada", "BOTTM", "Lenny Lin"));
    orderInfo.Add(new OrderInfo("2007", "Andrew Fuller", "France", "BLONP", "Strasbourg"));
    orderInfo.Add(new OrderInfo("2008", "Martin King", "Spain", "BOLID", "Madrid"));
    orderInfo.Add(new OrderInfo("2009", "Phyllis Allen", "France", "BONAP", "Marsiella"));
    orderInfo.Add(new OrderInfo("2010", "John Carter", "UK", "AROUT", "London"));
    orderInfo.Add(new OrderInfo("2011", "Marvin Allen", "Sweden", "BERGS", "London"));
    orderInfo.Add(new OrderInfo("2012", "Anne Wilson", "Germany", "BLAUS", "Mannheim"));
    orderInfo.Add(new OrderInfo("2013", "Sean Jacobson", "Mexico", "ANTON", "Mexico D.F."));
    orderInfo.Add(new OrderInfo("2014", "Gina Irene", "UK", "AROUT", "London"));
}
