Sorting collections of properties - Grids for WPF Forum

Posted 11 years ago by Jan Pilger - Steinbichler Optotechnik GmbH

Version: 13.1.0582

Platform: .NET 4.5

Environment: Windows 7 (64-bit)

I'm using the attributes of System.Componentmodel to control the PropertyGrid. Some of the displayed properties are collections with an ExpandableObjectConverter (or ArrayConverter) attribute. Unfortunately these collections are sorted alphabtically by the item index: 0, 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 ,17 ,18 ,19, 2, 20 21, ... I couldnt figure out how to prevent the PropertyGrid from sorting this way and maintaining the original order. Can you give me a hint?

Thanks!

Hello,

Our Sorting QuickStart under PropertyGrid includes an example of sorting by numeric value first, then by the display name of the property. The NumericValueComparer class is what performs the custom sorting, and you simply need to set the PropertyGrid.SortComparer to an instance of this class.
