Grid Datatype column

the Map is used to modify the display model, but querying is still done using the <T> model in your case MyObject (you should read more on how the grid works here: http://aspnetawesome.com/learn/mvc/Grid), think the easiest solution would be to use a different Model where CustomerId is int

Unfortunately I cant change the model. Also I still like it with string where I can use Contains in the search and use partial of the ID to find a customer. I have read about a solution where one can use a custom comparer. But as far as I can see the whole order by is hidden from me and therefore a custom comparer cannot be implemented. Is there a way to extend the grid by using a custom comparer as is suggested on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6396378/c-sharp-linq-orderby-numbers-that-are-string-and-you-cannot-convert-them-to-int?

you can do the ordering yourself, have a look at this page: http://demo.aspnetawesome.com/GridDemo/CustomQuerying
