Disable sorting when clicking DataGridView column header

Question

I have a DataGridView column header. When I click that header, the data is resorted according to the value.

I don't want that.

DataGrid has an AllowSort property. DataGridView doesn't have that. Anything I can do?

Answer 1

You have to set that on the columns. For example,

dataGridView1.Columns["MyColumn"].SortMode = DataGridViewColumnSortMode.NotSortable;

Answer 2

You can override OnColumnAdded function:

 protected override void OnColumnAdded(DataGridViewColumnEventArgs e)
    {
        base.OnColumnAdded(e);
        e.Column.SortMode = DataGridViewColumnSortMode.NotSortable;
    }

Answer 3

You can disable auto sort for each and every individual cells in your DataGridView:
