Hello, First time here

I have a question about CXTPReportControl, mfc c++

I would like to know how to set a default sort collumn.

1 side has file names and the other has modified dates, so I always want by default for the list to be sorted by the last modified date on the top.

So after all records have been added, is there a sortbycollumn(col num) ?

I cant seam to find any post or examples that show this.

Surely there must be something that allows this.

Appreciate your help.

	CXTPReportColumnOrder* pColumnOrder = wndReport.GetColumns()->GetSortOrder();
	pColumnOrder->Clear();

	CXTPReportColumn* pSortedColumn = wndReport.GetColumns()->GetAt(3);
	pSortedColumn->SetSortIncreasing(FALSE);

	pColumnOrder->Add(pSortedColumn);

Thank you for the reply, I found a way in the end.

//sort by column 2 descending

CXTPReportColumn* pColumn = m_GridCtrl.GetColumns()->GetAt(LETTER_TIMEDATE_COL);

if (pColumn)

m_GridCtrl.GetColumns()->SetSortColumn(pColumn, false);

But your solutions seams more robust. As it clears any previous settings then sorts the column.

CXTPReportColumns::SetSortColumn do the same

void CXTPReportColumns::ResetSortOrder()
{
	m_pSortOrder->Clear();
}

void CXTPReportColumns::SetSortColumn(CXTPReportColumn* pColumn, BOOL bIncreasing)
{
	ResetSortOrder();
	m_pSortOrder->Add(pColumn, bIncreasing);
}

But in first case you can also use CXTPReportColumnOrder::InsertAt and CXTPReportColumnOrder::RemoveAt to add/remove several columns in sort order. And SetSortColumn() sets just one column.
