Question

I am having trouble with what i think comes basically for free with knockout.

I have a foreach loop, done in knock out, which creates table rows.

Outside of this loop i have the table header, and i want to make the column headers trigger a client side sort.

I have seen the observable array function sort() but i cant seem to get it firing. Following up, is it hard to do ascending / descending sorts?

Answer 1

I was able to implement it with this post. The fiddle had just what I needed, it is a good example of the bindings needed.

Knockoutjs – Sorting a large observablearray

I extended it by including a sort direction variable in my model that i toggle when sorting.
