Hi walker1234,
You can save the sort information the browsers local storage and then reuse it when the page is loaded in order to achieve the functionality that you need.
Quick code example:
var localStorage = window.localStorage;
$("#grid").on("sort", function (event) {
var sortinformation = event.args.sortinformation;
localStorage.setItem('sortInfo', sortinformation);
});
Please, do not hesitate to contact us if you have any additional questions.
