Sort the Columns in Blazor QueryBuilder Component

4 Nov 20252 minutes to read

Sort the field list shown in the Query Builder’s field (column) dropdown to improve in large schemas. Set the SortDirection property to SortDirection.Ascending or SortDirection.Descending to control the order. Sorting is applied per component instance and is based on the displayed field labels.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.QueryBuilder

<SfQueryBuilder DataSource="@EmployeeData" SortDirection="SortDirection.Ascending">
    <QueryBuilderRule Condition="or" Rules="@Rules"></QueryBuilderRule>
    <QueryBuilderColumns>
        <QueryBuilderColumn Field="EmployeeID" Label="Employee ID" Type="ColumnType.Number"></QueryBuilderColumn>
        <QueryBuilderColumn Field="FirstName" Label="First Name" Type="ColumnType.String"></QueryBuilderColumn>
        <QueryBuilderColumn Field="TitleOfCourtesy" Label="Title of Courtesy" Type="ColumnType.Boolean" Values="Values"></QueryBuilderColumn>
        <QueryBuilderColumn Field="Title" Label="Title" Type="ColumnType.String"></QueryBuilderColumn>
        <QueryBuilderColumn Field="HireDate" Label="Hire Date" Type="ColumnType.Date"></QueryBuilderColumn>
        <QueryBuilderColumn Field="Country" Label="Country" Type="ColumnType.String"></QueryBuilderColumn>
        <QueryBuilderColumn Field="City" Label="City" Type="ColumnType.String"></QueryBuilderColumn>
    </QueryBuilderColumns>
</SfQueryBuilder>
