Sort list in Propertygrid in XAML

Question

Following this Topics Xceed WPF propertyGrid show item for expanded collection, how is it possible with XAML to sort the list by Name when Binding to Classes ? Everytime I would like to add a new Item it should be immediately sorted. It doesn't work because if I use Classes.orderby(x=>x.name) it breaks all the bindings?

Hello After lot's of time the solution is at the same time and not, but here I gave you all the solution: 1) the getters and setter for your Observablecollection

   private TheCollection yourcollection;
  public TheCollection Yourcollection{
        get{
            yourcollection.CollectionChanged -= Your_CollectionChanged;

            // use sort-Extension to sort pointprofil
            yourcollection.Sort();
            // read CollectionChange-Event
            yourcollection.CollectionChanged += Your_CollectionChanged;
            return yourCollection;
        }
}

And your Collection have to inherit from ObservableCollection but at the Same time to get an Extension to sort()

here we go:

static class Extensions

    public static void Sort<T>(this ObservableCollection<T> collection) where T : IComparable
    {
        List<T> sorted = collection.OrderBy(x => x).ToList();
        for (int i = 0; i < sorted.Count(); i++)
            collection.Move(collection.IndexOf(sorted[i]), i);
    }
}

public class YourCollections : ObservableCollection<YourPoints>, ICustomTypeDescriptor, INotifyPropertyChanged
{

}

and YourPoints have to inherit from IComparable
