Property Value

Type: System.Windows.Forms::DataGridViewColumn^

The DataGridViewColumn by which the DataGridView contents are currently sorted.

If the DataGridView is not sorted, this property will return null.

When the column indicated by this property has a SortMode property value of DataGridViewColumnSortMode::Automatic, it will display a sorting glyph based on the value of the SortOrder property.

When the column has a SortMode property value of DataGridViewColumnSortMode::Programmatic, you must display the sorting glyph yourself through the DataGridViewColumnHeaderCell::SortGlyphDirection property.

System_CAPS_noteNote

The value of this property is not meaningful when you sort the control using custom sorting. For more information about custom sorting, see the Sort(IComparer^) method and the SortCompare event.

The following code example demonstrates how to use the SortedColumn property in a programmatic sort.
