Question

So right now if you want to sort a data table you can give the column a sortBy attribute and when you click the header it will sort by whatever that attribute is.

Is there a way in which I can call my own custom function instead when you click the header?

Answer 1

You can bind a handler to all of the column headers of a data table with the following script.

jQuery('th').children().bind('click', function(evt) {
  alert(evt);
  //Insert logic to determine which header was clicked and do stuff
});
