How to turn off sorting in Report Control

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I'm sure there is an easy answer to this and I've simply missed it in my searching on the forum and in the code...
I'm using a CXTPReportControl with multiple columns. By default it sorts the first column alphabetically when I call Populate.
How can I disable sorting so that the records are listed in the order that I added them?
I've tried setting all columns->SetSortable( FALSE ); prior to calling Populate but that did not work.
Thanks in advance.

	The control sorts records by 2 collections: GroupsOrder and SortOrder. If both of them contain zero elements, the sorting wouldn't be called. So, please check elements count in CXTPReportColumns::GetGroupsOrder() and CXTPReportColumns::GetSortOrder() collections. -- WBR, Serge

	Thank you sserge for the reply. I was able to call Clear for both CXTPReportColumns::GetGroupsOrder() and CXTPReportColumns::GetSortOrder() and then confirmed both were empty by using GetCount just before calling Populate. Unfortunately after calling Populate the Report Control is still sorted (no change) alphabetically by the first column. [UPDATE] Your solution was correct. I had recently switched my storage of the items to be put into the report from a std::vector to a std::map. I forgot a map automatically sorts the keys by its very nature, so iterating through the map was giving me a sorted list and not the order I generated the list of records in. Thank you.
