How to set default column sorting to a grid

[Yj]

I have a Keno Grid,  when first launched, it should be sorted on one column by descending order. How can achieve it? Is there any configuration parameters to set?

Default sorting should be defined in the datasource configuration. 

You could check documentation at this adress: https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/data/datasource/configuration/sort#sort

 

Example : 

var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
  data: [
    { name: "Jane Doe", age: 30 },
    { name: "John Doe", age: 33 }
  ],
  sort: { field: "age", dir: "desc" }
});

This should be the proper link to the relevant help article section, guys:
http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/framework/datasource#configuration-serverSorting

Hello,

I also need to have the grid's sort property established on the initial page request. The link provided below show's how to invoke the "sort" method of the data source but not how to pre-configure the datastore or grid to already have an initial sorted field. I'm sure it can be done but don't see how based on this link. Can you provide more info?

This seems to be bad link only links to the landing page for keno
