Question

I have a jqgrid. I need to pull the json data from jqgrid after the client sorted the grid. Pulled json data should be the sorted version and not the original. How can I do this?

Here is my jqgrid source

jQuery("#myGrid").jqGrid({
    datastr: jsonData,
    datatype: 'jsonstring',
    jsonReader: { repeatitems: false, root: function(obj) { return obj; }},
    colNames: [ 'Column 1',
                'Column 2'],
    colModel: [
        { name: 'prop1',    index: 'prop1'},
        { name: 'prop2',    index: 'prop2'},

    ],
    headertitles: true,
    sortable: true,
    pginput: true,
    rownumbers: true,
    rowNum: 5,
    rowList: [5,20, 100, 10000],
    pager: '#pager',
    width:'600',
    height:'300',
    shrinkToFit:false,
    viewrecords: true,
    loadonce: true
});

Currently when I alert(jsonData) in the gridComplete it shows the original json data and not the sorted one.

For those who come across this problem, you can just take the data parameter passed to the loadComplete event of jqGrid. This data is the sorted version of the grid’s data source.
