Hi,
I'm using a columnchooser-control added to a form to implement a custom approach to choose the visible columns. Since the fields from the underlying datasource shouldn't be shown to the users, ColumnChooserCaption is set for each column to made the captions more readable to regular users. This works fine, but the sorting order of the columnchooser-control (set to ColumnDisplayOrder.Alphabetical) seems to apply to the underlying datasource-column names and not the ColumnChooserCaption, by that puzzling the sort order :-( .
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any help or hint!

Hi Volker,
That sounds like a bug to me. Are you using the latest Hot Fix? It might already be fixed.
If that does not help, you should Submit an incident to Infragistics Developer Support
Hi Mike,
thank you for your answer! I forwarded it as an incident and one of your collegues is managing it.. (Although I think we're having a different understanding wheter this would be / is a bug or a new functionality ;-))
Kind regards
If your description here is accurate and the columns are being sorted by Key rather than by the visible text in the caption, then this is definiately a bug. It makes no sense to sort by criteria the user cannot see.
The only way I could see this being correct is if the sorting is taking place before the captions are set.
If you have a hard time convincing Developer Support of this, send them a link to this thread. :)
in between it has been forwarded as a feature request (FR11084).
Thanks again
I am still on NetAdvantage 2008 Vol1... i want to upgrade but wondering if this item is resolved in one of your newer packages?
item FR11084... i need the columns to sort correctly as well.
Thanks,Dave
