Natural Sorting in TreeGrid

[vankin09Participant]

Hi,

I am currently using TreeGrid widget.
I have a field where data will be alphanumeric i.e AA-12,AA-2,AA-3 etc.
Using string sort, the sorted data will be AA-12,AA-2,AA-3.
My requirement is to sort it using Natural Order i.e 2 should be available before 12.
In this case the sorted data will become AA-2,AA-12,AA-3

I want something like { name: ‘FirstName’, type: ‘natural’ }, and for this I want to use my own sort algorithm.
Can you let me know if such a custom sorting is supported?

Hi vankin09,

There is not such a feature.
Instead you can use an approach with data formatted as : AA-12,AA-02,AA-03 .

Hi Ivailo,

I did not completely understand what your statement meant.
Can you please explain so I can check if that approach is feasible for my use case?

By the way, Is it not possible to introduce a new data type for which I can provide my own sorting algorithm?
Please let me know If I can extend any API in treegrid and override it with my API.

Rajesh

Hi Rajesh,

We have no such kind of sorting in our TreeGrid and no data type called “natural”. This is what my colleague’s statement was. It is not possible to override the TreeGrid sorting as well.
