Grid Column Sort

Started by docsaintly · 2009-04-06 20:52 UTC · 4 replies · SMF topic #702

I noticed that the grid view has an option to sort, but it's not very customizeable (at least I don't know how to). Is there any way to allow the user to click a column header and have the grid view sort the contents accordingly? It seems if there was a built in function for this it would be much quicker than dumping all the data to lisp, sorting, and then returning it to the grid view.
Take a look at the SortNumericCells and SortTextCells methods for the Grid control. It doesn't sort automatically, but you can call these functions from your OnColumnClick event handler.
Hi, I only want to append that it depends on your code saving the latest sorted column id and its sort direction (ascending / descending) and at least the column image to show the sort order.

Thanks. Can you tell me where in the help it shows what each imageindex is?
Yes - we can  :)

Have a look {2}.
