I recommend you to use jqGrid 3.7.2 or jqGrid 3.8 beta from http://github.com/tonytomov/jqGrid/tree/dev. Nobody (probably only Tony) have the version or will be test the retro version specially for you.
In the current version there there are nice parameter loadonce:true. It switch datatype: 'json' to datatype: 'local' for you. Moreover in the current version there are full local sorting, paging and searching support. So your server can just send back the whole data.
Moreover local sorting and server side paging is not logical, because sorting are means through all data and not inside a page only. If you already implemented server side paging, that server side sorting will be only some lines of cod (probably only one line).
If you will have problem with the usage of last version or find a bug you will be quickly receive help from developers and from

To be able to help you you should post the JSON data which makes the problem: 2-3 line of data wold be OK (if you want test local paging you can send 6 rows and set rowNum: 5).

The data returned validatates as “Valid JSON” in JSONLint.
After digging into the server-side code more today, it seems that the sorting symptioms described above may be caused by a server side sort coupled with a client side sort.
The first row which you has in your “JSON” data has the value “KG” as integer GradeLevel and “” as a date in format 'd/m/Y'. I understand that jqGrid has a problem to read the data.
If you will use integer data for 'ID' column and replace name:ID' to name:'ID' in the last version of the JavaScript code which you posted, the grid will be filled with data: http://www.ok-soft-gmbh.com/jqGrid/StudentGridData.htm (also with empty data and “KG” as integer).
