How to Skip the Sorting When Group the Columns in UWP DataGrid?

This sample illustrates how to skip the sorting when group the columns in UWP DataGrid (SfDataGrid).

By default, DataGrid groups a column in the sorted order. However, you can group a specific column in the actual order without sorting the groups in SfDataGrid by removing the grouped column from the SfDataGrid.View.SortDescriptions.

C#

this.dataGrid.Loaded += OnDataGrid_Loaded;

private void OnDataGrid_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    this.dataGrid.View.CurrentChanged += OnView_CurrentChanged;
}

private void OnView_CurrentChanged(object sender, object e)
{
    var groupColumn = dataGrid.View.SortDescriptions.FirstOrDefault(x => x.PropertyName == "ProductName");

    if (dataGrid.SortColumnDescriptions.FirstOrDefault(x => x.ColumnName == "ProductName") != null)
        dataGrid.View.SortDescriptions.Remove(groupColumn);
}
