Datagrid question

[Bob Sneidar]

I do not think there is a way to disable the ability to sort by column. What you can do is disable the datagrid group itself which will prevent a user from interacting with the datagrid at all, including making a new selection. You also will not be able to scroll, so that may be an issue. 

You may be able to dig in and try to disable the column header group, but I don’t know what the consequences of that would be. 

But what would be the harm in sorting?
