Setting a grid view's sort property (but not actually sorting)

[Michael]

Hi,

I have an MVC grid view and I'm setting the current sort value of the grid programatically (similar to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13863111/kendoui-programmatically-setting-grid-sort). I don't wish to actually sort the grid at the time I set the sort so I'm doing something like this 

var grid = $("#ServiceAuth").data('kendoGrid');
grid.dataSource.options.sort = [{ field: "AuthType", dir: "asc" }];

and then when I do actually want to sort the grid:

grid.dataSource.sort(grid.dataSource.options.sort);

Data-wise this sorts the grid correctly, however the new sort isn't reflected on the indicators at the top of the grid. Is there a way to do this so the grid reflects the data sources sort property?

Thanks in advance for your help

Hello,

The sort direction seems to be correctly reflected when I tested the scenario at least on my side. Could you check this example and let me know if I am missing something?
