[CLOSED] Manually Set Grid Header Sort Icon

[randy85253]

How do I manually set the sort icon for a column on a grid on the server side.

On the client side, I can do this:

var colIndex = grid.getColumnModel().findColumnIndex(sortField);
grid.getView().updateSortIcon(colIndex, sortDirection);

But I can't find any equivelent on the server side?

Hi,

We have no server sode*equivalents because it is client side actions (plus*updateSortIcon is not public function, it is for internal usage*)


You can register these scripts with AddScript method on server side

So if updateSortIcon is not the way to do this, what is?

Again, I'm pre-sorting the data before I give it to the store. In general, I do not want the store to re-sort it, that would a waste of cpu. Although there is one case where that would be desirable (don't ask why, its an LDAP thing).

Hi Randy,

I didn't tell that updateSortIcon is not the way to do this.
Just single way to perform it on server side (initiate performing because it will perform on client side) is register script

GridPanel1.AddScript("var colIndex = {0}.getColumnModel().findColumnIndex(sortField);{0}.getView().updateSortIcon(colIndex, sortDirection);", GridPanel1.ClientID);

How about setting the SortInfo property on the Store? Using markup it would look like the following.

Example

<ext:Store ID="Store1" runat="server">
    <Reader>
        <ext:ArrayReader>
            <Fields>
                <ext:RecordField Name="company" />
            </Fields>
        </ext:ArrayReader>
    </Reader>
    <SortInfo Field="company" Direction="DESC" />
</ext:Store>

Hope this helps.
