I have a grid that I am retrieving the entire set of data for, then want the users to have the ability to sort the resulting data. I am using the following attributes, but the grid does not sort. It’s also worth mentioning after the user clicks a button, I will make an AJAX call then I will need to refresh from the source, but since I’m pulling all of the data to the client every time, I shouldn’t need to go back to the server just to sort.
loadonce: true, // to enable sorting on client side
sortable: true //to enable sorting
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
I’m not sure but it seems to me that you want to achieve your sorting locally whereas your searches remotely. I had the same requirement and I did it like this: Make 'Search' remote and everything else (sorting, pagination, etc) local in jqGrid
