Sort MultiSelect on page Init

[ddolan]

I have a Multiselect box that I am trying to get to sort alphabetically. I populate it on Page_init with text and values from a search string. Code is here:

For Each Member As Object In CType(Members, IEnumerable)  ' loop through members

            Dim CurrentMember As New DirectoryEntry(Member) ' Get directoryentry for user


            UList.Add(CurrentMember.Name.Remove(0, 3))
            EList.Add(CurrentMember.Properties("mail").Value.ToString)

            Dim c As New Ext.Net.ListItem.Config
            c.Text = CurrentMember.Name.Remove(0, 3)
            c.Value = CurrentMember.Properties("mail").Value.ToString
            MultiSelect1.Items.Add(New Ext.Net.ListItem(c))


        Next

I have this code in my aspx page

<ext:MultiSelect ID="MultiSelect1" runat="server" SubmitText = "true"  Height="500" Width="200" Direction ="ASC" SortField = "text"></ext:MultiSelect>

But it does not seem to work at all, is there something I am missing? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Could you sort the data ASC before adding to the MultiSelect?

I could but I would have to add it to another array/list first and I am trying to avoid the extra overhead. I would like to keep it coming directly from the search results.

Hi,

You can
- use Store control instead inner Items and set SortInfo for default sorting
- or please use the following listener for the MultuSelect

<AfterRender Handler="this.store.sort('text');"/>

or

<AfterRender Handler="this.store.sort('value');"/>

That was it, thanks a lot, much appreciated. How do I mark this as solved?
