If yu grup data by a clumn, recrds with identical clumn values are arranged int crrespnding data grups. The grup rw can be expanded t access the underlying data rws. An end-user can grup data by a particular clumn by dragging its header frm the clumn header panel r the custmizatin frm nt the grup panel. T ungrup the data, remve the clumn header frm the grup panel by dragging it. Yu can als change the rder f the gruping clumns using drag and drp. It's als pssible t grup data by a clumn by selecting the "Grup By This Field" ptin frm the clumn header cntext menu. T ungrup data, use the "Un-Grup" ptin frm the same menu r "Clear Gruping" frm the grup panel cntext menu. Recrds are always srted against the gruping clumns. If yu grup data against a clumn which isn't srted, the grid cntrl will autmatically apply srting in ascending rder t the clumn. Subsequently, if yu remve the clumn frm the grup panel its srt settings will be cleared Srting Recrds This feature prvides the ability t srt data against ne r multiple clumns. When srting is applied t a view, rws are re-arranged t meet the current srt settings. Page 69 f 73

70 T srt data against a Grid View's clumn r t change the clumn's srt rder, an end-user can click its clumn header. The clumn's current srt rder is indicated by the srt glyph (a small arrw displayed at the clumn header's right edge). If the data is srted in ascending rder, the srt glyph represents an up-arrw. When srting in descending rder, the srt glyph is displayed as a dwn-arrw. If the clumn isn't srted, the srt glyph is hidden. In the fllwing image, data is srted against the Cuntry clumn in ascending rder and against the City clumn in descending rder Filtering Recrds Filtering allws yu t display a subset f recrds frm a data surce. When filtering is applied t a Grid View, nly thse recrds that meet the current filter criteria are displayed. Yu can filter data against a single r multiple clumns.
