Adding Options to the Sort and Group By in a Data View WP

  Asked By: Jordan Cooper         Date: Mar 30, 2009      Category: Sharepoint      Views: 346
 

Does anyone know how to add options to the 'sort' and 'group by'
selections in the Data View web part? When you enable sort and group
using the Data View Properties, something determines what options to
include (e.g. Title, Status) in the drop-down menu. I would like to add
another column (in this case, Assigned To, which is a person's
username) to those options. Does that have to be done in code? What
determines the columns that SPD chooses to include?

The fields listed in the drop down are based on the data  type of the field. You
can't group  on a person column.
