I just tried this on my own DataGrid and I was able to drag and drop with a column sort enabled. When I do this, the column sort property is still set, but the column is unsorted, so this does not happen auto-magically. I think the key then is to set the Sort By Column property to empty before

Yes, but that is not what is keeping you from doing drag and drop operations. You have to code your drag and drop. Zryip's Data Grid Helper has, among a great many other benefits, the ability to add a drag and drop script for you. It does beg the question though, whether or not a drag and drop

That was my concern. I guess it doesn't matter as long as you use the same base date for conversion to and from Julian format, and once I found SQL provides functions to do that, I realised I don;t need any LC code. Pete Haworth On Mar 3, 2011, at 8:55 AM, Bob Sneidar wrote: > http://en.wikip

I don't know if this is possible or not, but I thought I would ask. If you turn off sorting in a datagrid, is it possible to do drag and drop rearranging of rows? Has anyone done this? Is there a lesson on this, or does someone have a sample stack that would demonstrate this? Thank in advance. **
