sort()

sorts data items in a component

sort(rule?: ISortMode, config?: ISortConfig): void;

Parameters:

• rule: object - an object with parameters for sorting
• config: object - defines the parameter of sorting

Example

grid.data.sort({
    by:"a",
    dir:"desc",
    as: function(item){
        return item.toUpperCase(); 
    }
});

// cancels applied sorting rules
grid.data.sort();

Related sample: Data. Sorting

The rule object has the following attributes:

by	(string) the id of a data field (a column of Grid)
dir	(function) the direction of sorting "asc" or "desc"
as	(function) a function that specifies the type to sort data as
rule	(function) optional, a sorting rule; the function must have two parameters and return a number (-1,0,1)

note

Calling the method without parameters will discard all applied sorting rules.

The config parameter may contain one property:

smartSorting

(boolean) specifies whether a sorting rule should be applied each time after changing the data set

grid.data.sort({
    by:"a",
    dir:"desc",
    as: function(item){
        return item.toUpperCase(); 
    },
    {
        smartSorting: true
    }
});

Custom sorting

To set a custom function for sorting you need to specify the rule attribute in a passed object. For example:

grid.data.sort({
    rule: (a, b) => a.id > b.id ? 1 : (a.id < b.id ? -1 : 0) 
});

Change log:

The config parameter is added in v7.0.
