Hello

I have often faced a scenarion where I have groups (GroupDescriptor), but those groups need to be ordered by a different property.

Usually, telerik column properties already provide a SortMemberPath.

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Name}" SortMemberPath="Id"

However, the GroupDescriptor does not have that, it only has Member and SortDirection.

The only way to set the sort to refer another property is in code behind using a generic group descriptor. It is very flexible, but it has several drawbacks, since now I'd have to declare everything in C# (aggregate functions, templates, etc) and also lose the Design time feedback from Visual Studio.

My request is to just have the possibility to set a SortMember in XAML which will work for most scenarios, same way as others components already do.

<telerik:GroupDescriptor Member="OrderState" SortDirection="Ascending"
                                         SortMember="OrderStateIndex" >

Thanks
