You can sort the TreeView nodes based on their level. When using the sortOrder property, the whole TreeView is sorted. When you sort a particular level, you can use the following code sample. The following code sample demonstrates how to sort the parent node alone in TreeView.
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
import { TreeView } from '@syncfusion/ej2-navigations';
import { DataManager, Query } from '@syncfusion/ej2-data';
enableRipple(true);
