Thanks, Tony. The “loadonce” option seems to be the exact one I need. However, when I put this in the xml file to load (via jqGridImport):

true

it doesn't really work – no errors, and it apparantly is not going back to the server, but when I click on a column to sort, nothing happens. If, on the other hand, I click on a link which fires a

jQuery(“#xmlist1″).setGridParam({datatype:”clientSide”});

the sorts all work.

So is this a bug in what I am doing? Perhaps loadonce doesn't work via jqGridImport? Or am I just doing the wrong thing?

Thanks!

Hi Tony –

The datatype is xml.

And I have not tried the grid without import. But everything works fine, except for the local sorting. And I can get the local sorting to work by one of the following two methods:

1. Once the grid is loaded, click on a link which is bound via

$(“#s1”).click(function() {

Hi Tony,

Well, I got it all working after all (not sure what was wrong before). So if you want to enable local sorting, via jqGridImport:

xml
true

does the trick!

Thanks!
