Hi Tony,

How can we do multi column sort by simply clicking on the column titles? Can we make the sort direction arrow appear for all the sorted columns?

Thanks!

Hi Tony,

I do not quite understand what you mean. Could you elaborate or provide examples or links to examples?

Thanks!

Hi Tony,

Do you mean adding two onSortCol events (one desc and the other asc) for each column and each click to update the sortname and sortorder via setGridParam?

For example, initial sort is “Col_1 asc”

Then clicking on Col_2 would set sortname to “Col_1 asc, Col_2” and sortorder to “asc”. Next click on Col_3 would set sortname to “Col_1 asc, Col_2 asc, Col_3” and sortorder to “asc”. I think you have something else in mind.

My approach above seems to create a mess if I click on the same column more than once. A search and replace function would need to be in place to manipulate the sortname string and retain the order of last clicked column in sortorder. I would also need a sort reset button. Not elegant at all..

Please advise further.. Thanks!

Hi tony,

That's part of my requirements.. I also need subsequent clicks on same column header to reverse the sort direction or remove sorting on that column.

For example, we have columns A, B and C.

First click on column A -> sort parameter: A asc

Then click on B -> sort parameter: A asc, B asc

Then click on C twice -> sort parameter: A asc, B asc, C desc

Then click on B -> sort parameter: A asc, B desc, C desc

Then click on B again -> sort parameter: A asc, C desc (Sort on B is off)

Thanks!
