Question

Is there a way to sort a WPF DataGrid programmaticaly ( for example, like if i clicked on my first column).

Is there a way to simuate this click ? Or a best way ?

Answer 1

you can use ICollectionView to filter, sort and group your items in a datagrid.

EDIT: add Sort, did not read the question carefully :)

 var view = CollectionViewSource.GetDefaultView(this.MyData);
 view.Filter = ViewFilter;
 view.SortDescriptions.Add(new SortDescription("MyPropertyToSort", ListSortDirection.Descending));


    private bool ViewFilter(object obj)
    {
        var item = obj as MyObject;

        if (item == null)
            return false;

        //your filter logik goes here

        if(item.MyStringProp.StartsWith("Test"))
            return false;

        return true;
