Grid for Blazor

Description

I have a Grid and I would like to know the new index of a row when sorting or filtering the Grid.

Solution

The Grid does not directly alter the collection of items passed to its Data parameter. When performing operations like Sorting or Filtering the collection will not be changed, thus the index of an item will remain unchanged. In order to get the sorted/filtered collection, use the OnRead event of the Grid.

• Use the OnRead event to cache the Grid data in its current sort state.
• Use the SelectedItemsChanged or OnRowClick event to find the item index.
• Optionally, use OnRead to update the item index.
