Change name of sortColum

[etwoss]

Hi

In a grid i have a column with a price like '200 USD'
With this format sorting is inpossible.

So i have added a hidden column with only the numeric values (200 in this case)
if sorted on column (200 USD) i want to change the name of the Sort column to the name of the column with '200'

for i := 0 to ASortItems.Count - 1 do
begin
if SameText(ASortItems[i].Name, 'Cost') then
begin
ASortItems[i].Name := 'CostHidden'
Break;
end;
end;

HowEver the name is readOnly

Hi

Due to your change to make the 'Name' property of a TIWCGJQGridSortItems item writable this trick works:

Code: Select all

var
  i : Integer;
begin
  for i := 0 to ASortItems.Count - 1 do
  begin
    if SameText(ASortItems[i].Name, 'Cost') then
    begin
      ASortItems[i].Name := 'CostHidden';
      Break;
    end;
  end;

  GridNewOrderList.SortBy(ASortItems);


The column 'Cost' is not really sortable because it contains values like '100 USD' and '2 USD'.
The Columns CostHidden (A hidden column) contains only the 100 and 2 values
So when sorting on 'Cost' i change the name to 'CostHidden'. This way sorting is done right!

Thanks for making this change!
