Sort a Enum value based on description

[EdwinThomas11]

public enum UploadStatus
{
[Description("Init")]
Init = 0,
[Description("ValidationSuccess")]
ValidationSuccess = 1,
[Description("ValidationFail")]
ValidationFail = 2,
[Description("Deleted")]
Deleted = 5
}

These are my enumerations; they are stored as integers in the database. I want to perform sorting based on the description within the "process" method. Is it feasible to handle the sorting directly in the "process" method?

@VictorTomaili @volkanceylan please suggest.

To order items you can create an UploadStatusEnumEditor, you need to inherit from EnumEditor and sort the items in the updateItems() function. You can refer to the enum editor itself for more details.

You can also create a select2 editor with predefined values that correspond to the enum values.

If I opt for the UploadStatusEnumEditor, it will only function on sorting that specific column. Is there a way to apply it to all the enums used?

[VictorTomaili]

To override the updateItems() function of the EnumEditor, you need to use prototype overriding in TypeScript. You can override this function in the InitScript.ts file.
