I have a grid with an OrderNum column. In code I am changing the order via a setcellvalue call. I can see on the screen that the cell values changed as expected, but the sorting even if I use column header sorting appears to be sorting based on the old OrderNum column values. I suspect I am missing a call somewhere to make the cell values “official” but I am not sure what I am missing here. This happens in both 2.8.3 and 2.9.3.
$('#jqxGrid').jqxGrid('setcellvalue', boundIndex, "OrderNum", currentOrder);
$('#jqxGrid').jqxGrid('sortby', 'OrderNum', 'asc');
