Feature request: sorting of group headings

[BennyParticipant]

Hi

We are missing a feature that was available in our old grid component. It is the possibility to sort on the grouping headings while grouping.

Example:

If grid with following columns.

Country | City | Company

Grouping on Country with following countries: Denmark, Germany, Jamaica
creates grouping headings for each of them in order:

• Denmark
• Germany
• Jamaica

The order of these are in turn sortable either ascending or descending:

• Jamaica
• Germany
• Denmark

This would also work for multiple groups. So the group headers are first in ascending order for Country and each “sub group” City is then sorted in descending order.

Hi Benny,

Grouped columns can be sorted. You just need to enable the properties groupable and sortable. However, multiple column sorting is not supported by jqxGrid.

1. Yes we know that you can sort within groups, we are asking for sorting of grouping headings.

2. We also know that multiple sorting is not supported. As in the link you pointed out, this is also a formal request to implement multiple sorting. We see it as an important feature to have in a grid component.

I will also send the request to sales@jqwidgets.com.

Thank you

Hi Benny,

Only the headings of the groups corresponding to the currently sorted column are sorted. Your requirement cannot be achieved, because multiple column sorting is not supported.
