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

At the moment the GridViewNewRow can be placed at the top or at the bottom. Placing it between the rows will require new virtualization mechanism. 

Currently the filters for the RadGridView only allows 2 filters. It would be very helpful for the default filter popout to have the option to add additional filters.

Current filter popout:

Filter popout with ability to add additional filters via an Add Filter button:

Competitor's GridView controls have this feature already and it would be very useful to have this feature on the RadGridView control. 

When TabStopMode is set to "Skip" on all columns and you press Tab, RadGridView scrolls a little.

Workaround: define a custom KeyboardCommandProvider and clear the pending commands.

Add a property to the RadGridView that provides a distinct template for adding a new row.

Sometimes you have classes with no default constructor. Those classes may have properties that are read-only after construction. This cannot be handled in the RadGridView, because you only have the choice of a CellEditTemplate. (I'm envisioning something akin to the RowDetailsTemplate.)

Example: I have a class that defines a invoice match for payment application. Once the invoice is set it cannot be changed. The user can still edit the match, but they're only allowed to edit the amount to be applied.

You are able to resize columns using the columns gripper. The corresponding group will be automatically resized. We can provide a way to resize the column groups. The columns inside the group will be automatically resized with the group.
