Control in grid column header

[emberqParticipant]

This is probably obvious but when I hover in a grid column header I am now getting a control that appears from the right hand side that appears to be a button with 3 horizontal lines on it. When I click it nothing happens.

Can you explain how I got it and what it’s supposed to control?

Thank you.

Hello emberq,

You have probably enabled the sorting of the grid. See Grid Sorting for more information if you want to see how to use it to its full extent, or just ask here.

If you don’t want it, all you need to do is just find sortable: true and set it to false.

Yes I have sortable true. That is my intent. When I hover over the column that small menu icon appears in from the right but clicking it doesn’t do anything. I just wanted to know what purpose the icon serves.

Hello emberq,

The box contains the different stages of sorting: ‘ascending’, ‘descending’ or no sorting at all. It appears when you enable sorting, it can contain the filter options too(if you have that enabled).
If it doesn’t open I suggest you to send us an example so we can investigate the issue.

Best Regards,
