Sorting Problem With Grouping

Dear Sir,

When I create a group, the data shown is no longer in the order in which it is retrieved.

I am using latest pre-release build.

Hello,

Please try to set the SortDirection property for GroupHeader component to None.

Thank you.

Dear Sir,

I have set sorting for group to None. And data is showing now in the same order in which it is fetched.

But this behaviour is weird.

Is this a bug?

No, it's not a bug. It's a usual behaviour of the Group Header band. Because it can't group data band right without sorting on group field.

Thank you.

Hello,

No, it is not a bug. When you set the grouping then, according to the logic, it should sort all the data by that column, by which sorting is set, for the correct group. If you remove the sort for GroupHeader, the data will be displayed in order in which they are got, and the group would "torn".

Thank you.

Dear Sir,

It means that after grouping, we have to perform sorting again using "Sort" options of Data Band.

You should do so to sort data in each group.

Thank you.
