How can I sort ListGridField optionData

I have a list grid with serveral listGridFields that call setOptionDataSource( MYDataSource ) to populate an option menu for that field. Is there a way to have the values in the option list sorted ??

code is like:

ListGridField myField = new ListGridField("name","title",length);
myField.setOptionDataSource(DataSource.getDataSource("myDS");



Thanks

The picklist of options appears when the editor is active. So you can set the SelectItem or ComboBoxItem "sortField" via listGridField.editorProperties.

Looking at the listGridField api I see a set editorProperties method but its not clear to me ( assuming this is the correct method ) how to accomplish sorting the option list fields. Can you point me to an example ?

Thanks

It works like all other situations where you pass in settings to configure a component. You just pass a ComboBoxItem or SelectItem where you have called setSortField() to setEditorProperties().
