custom sorting with in built

[jahnvi25Participant]

i need to pre-process old data before i can perform sort operation. currently i tried using sort:function(column,direction){….}
using customsort example provided in API.. but its not working as expected.

i just need in-built sorting.. what is the best way to do it..
below is the code i am using..

var data = $resultsGrid.jqxGrid('getrows');;
			var sortdata = new Array();
			if (direction == 'ascending') direction = true;
			if (direction == 'descending') direction = false;
			if (direction != null) {
				for (i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
					sortdata.push(data[i]);
				}
			}
			else sortdata = data;
			Object.prototype.toString = (typeof column == "function") ? column : function () { return this[column] };
			if (direction != null) {
				sortdata.sort();
				if (!direction) {
					sortdata.reverse();
				}
			}
			source.localdata = sortdata;
			$resultsGrid.jqxGrid('updatebounddata');

never mind.. ignore this.. i figured out a way

[jahnvi25Participant]

well. i do have question.when we use in-built sorting, ‘bindingComplete’ does not get called. but when we use custom sorting. it does.. is there a way to avoid this and still use custom sorting ?

Hi jahnvi25,

bindingComplete is called when there’s a change in the bindine i.e update, re-bind thinks like that. As the custom sorting includes call of updating the data then the answer is no.

Peter
