Check if a sort event was triggered

[Zubair_Muhammad]

Hi,

I want to check if a sort event was triggered. i.e. one of these options (in the image below) was selected by user.

The closest I reached was to find VisualUpdateOptions.type.  
Can you point me to right direction?

Data = 2,

Resize = 4,

ViewMode = 8,

Style = 16,

ResizeEnd = 32,

All = 62,

Hi @Zubair_Muhammad

Yes, VisualUpdateOptions.type is all you can use here.

There is no explicit event for sorting as a sort will trigger a re-query against the data model. As far as the visual is concerned, this is an update of all data, so will typically trigger an enum value of 2 (Data).

Note that if you implement sorting using the custom option, and manage via the properties pane, that property change will also trigger a re-query, and therefore the same condition as above can be used to manage that situation also.
