Sorting on a grid that has grouped column [message #1449591]

Hello,

This is a question about sorting on a grid that is grouped by a column. When we group by a column, and then sort in ascending order by another column in the grid, the groupedby rows are in ascending order and the contents in the groups are in ascending order. If we want to sort one of the columns in descending order, then the groupedby rows will be sorted in descending order.

Is it expected behavior? Or would we want the grouped by rows to remain in ascending order and the contents in in the groups to be in descending order?

Thank you,
Natalie

How to reproduce:
(Using the 1.1.1 examples)
1. Run the GroupBySummaryExample.
2. Group by the Firstname.
3. Sort Age in ascending order
4. Sort Age in descending order

So in this example, when sorting Age in ascending order, the grouped by rows are Bart, Carl, Edna, ... and the ages are sorted from low to high (34, 43, 43, 46, ...). If we sorted Age in descending order, would we want the grouped by rows to be Bart, Carl, Edna, ..., where the ages are sorted from high to low (91, 88, 68, 62, ...)?
