Hi dm,

I suppose your problem is in the way how you fill the grid. The best way will be the usage of data parameter of the jqGrid. In the way the data filled in the grid will be automatically sorted and the first page of data displayed. So the user can work with the grid in very comfortable way using local sorting by another column as default (column no. 3 in your case), go to another page and searching/filtering of the data. You can use Toolbar Searching if needed and so on.

If you do want to add the rows in old way with respect of addRowData for example you will have to reload the grid with the code like $(“#list”).trigger(“reloadGrid”); after the grid is full filled

Sorry SomethingNew,

It is very difficult to explain the taste of something without to taste of it. Exactly the same is true if we write something about the code. Why you don't just post the code which you mean?

What I mean is very easy. Look at this example. One prepare an array with data which include additional 'id' property if it not exist already in the grid. Then create a jqGrid using the data as input. It's all. The data will be automatically sorted and paged. So you have no problem with the sorting and paging of the data after the filling jqGrid with addRowData

Ok that worked, if I did datatype of local and with array data, instead of json and loadonce it worked like a charm.

Thanks,
