it states in jqgrid documentation that the code below should allow local sorting with server side paging;
the grid data disappears on paging; this question has been asked before with no clear answer – suggestions to use loadonce:true means that paging is turned off – I need paging

EDITED LATER TO SHOW COMPLETE html page and json response
(Im now running this from a php/mysql backend).

    First of all I want repeat that I don’t recommend you to use local sorting and the server side paging. I find that the user can wrong interpret the result of sorting.

    Nevertheless, if your customer agree with restriction which have the combination of local sorting and the server side paging and if you really need to implement that, I can suggest you the following solution:

    onPaging: function() {
    $(this).setGridParam({datatype: 'json'}).triggerHandler("reloadGrid");
},
loadComplete: function (data) {
    var $this = $(this);
    if ($this.jqGrid('getGridParam', 'datatype') === 'json') {
        // because one use repeatitems: false option and uses no
        // jsonmap in the colModel the setting of data parameter
        // is very easy. We can set data parameter to data.rows:
        $this.jqGrid('setGridParam', {
            datatype: 'local',
            data: data.rows,
            pageServer: data.page,
            recordsServer: data.records,
            lastpageServer: data.total
        });

        // because we changed the value of the data parameter
        // we need update internal _index parameter:
        this.refreshIndex();

        if ($this.jqGrid('getGridParam', 'sortname') !== '') {
            // we need reload grid only if we use sortname parameter,
            // but the server return unsorted data
            $this.triggerHandler('reloadGrid');
        }
    } else {
        $this.jqGrid('setGridParam', {
            page: $this.jqGrid('getGridParam', 'pageServer'),
            records: $this.jqGrid('getGridParam', 'recordsServer'),
            lastpage: $this.jqGrid('getGridParam', 'lastpageServer')
        });
        this.updatepager(false, true);
    }
}

    If you would don’t use repeatitems: false the code which fills data parameter of jqGrid will be a little longer, but it will work.
