               {
                  "id":"15",
                  "read": true,
                  "cells": [
                     {
                        "label":"linkimg",
                        "links": [
                           {
                              "name":"link1"
                           },
                           {
                              "name":"link2"
                           }
                        ]
                     }
                  ]
               }
            ]
         }
      }
   }
}

Please note: that page, total and records for pagination are defined before mypage. This works. I get Page 1 of 3, 2 of 3 and 3 of 3. BUT

If I place page, total and records for pagination after outerwrapper, then it doesn’t work. I get Page 0 of 3

{
   "mypage":{
      "outerwrapper":{
         "page":"1",
         "total":"3",
         "records":"15",
         ....
         ....
      }
   }
}

Answer 1

If you want change the place of page, total and records inside of your JSON input data you have to inform jqGrid about the new place. You can do this using jsonReader. For example you can add the following jsonReader to the list of parameters of jqGrid

jsonReader: {
    page: 'mypage.outerwrapper.page',
    total: 'mypage.outerwrapper.total',
    records: 'mypage.outerwrapper.records'
}
