SortDescription with converter

Question

I have list<Person> Persons

Person has ID, something like that:12231d4sa32fd

I have a converter that convert the ID to Status: (Ready/Waiting/NotHere).

I show the list in a ListView.

Question: How can I sort the ListView by the Person's status ?

Answer 1

One option is to add a Status property to your Person type and bind to that in your grid instead. If you don't wish to add a Status property to your model, then you could create a PersonViewModel instead with this additional property, and bind your grid to a collection of PersonViewModel.
