Question

I created columns in code, 3 to Row Area, rest in column area, and all those in row area are grouped by name, and I don’t want any of grouping/sorting, because I sorted and grouped it as I want in stored procedure.

Any idea how to disable automatic grouping/sorting?

Thanks

Ref: Can I disable sort?

it’s impossible to disable sorting. The PivotGridControl groups data
by identical values to calculate summaries. This operation requires
data to be sorted. Also, each row or column in the PivotGridControl
might be associated with multiple records in the data source. In other
words, there is no way to uniquely identify the rows and columns order
in the PivotGridControl.

In this case, it is necessary to sort data manually by handling the ASPxPivotGrid.CustomFieldSort event. Do your calculation of sorting and grouping at this event.Below, I have posted a code snippet, demonstrating how to disable sorting:

private void pivotGridControl1_CustomFieldSort(object sender, PivotGridCustomFieldSortEventArgs e)
{
    e.Result = e.ListSourceRowIndex1.CompareTo(e.ListSourceRowIndex2);
    e.Handled = true;
}

check the AspxPivotGrid Sorting section for help in your calculations.

ASPxPivotGrid’s PivotGridOptionsCustomization.AllowSort option.
The order in which field values are sorted is specified by a field’s PivotGridFieldBase.SortOrder property.
