Single sort column in DataGrid!?

[Brett P.]

Hello,
I am trying to have only one column sortable within a
data grid. I know you set the allowsorting property to
true on the style or the grid, but this enables sorting
for all columns. Is there a way to override this
implementation so that only a few or one of the columns
may be sorted?

thanks,

Is this desktop or Web? You can trap the mouse down event and bind your
grid to a dataView instead of a datatable, You can manipulate the sort from
there. Whether this is desktop or web will have a subtle effect on how to
do this, but if you use a Dataview, sort it, and bind the grid to it, you
can make just about anything happen.

Let me know if you have any troubles.
