$.uniqueSort() is not supported in jQuery versions prior 2.2.x and 3.x . Thus, using jQuery version 1.10.x, 1.11.x, 2.0.x or 2.1.x throws an error.
The usage of $.uniqueSort() in jQuery 1.10.x throws an error in multiple components like Menu, DropDownList, DropDownTree, and TreeView.
This problem will be fixed in our upcoming service pack release R2 2019 SP1.
As a temporary workaround until the issue is fixed you can assign jQuery unique method implementation to the jQuery uniqueSort if missing before initialization of any Kendo UI widget on the page.
For example please refer to the https://dojo.telerik.com/AGAsAKAG/3 dojo where the following code
kendo.jQuery.uniqueSort = kendo.jQuery.uniqueSort ? kendo.jQuery.uniqueSort : kendo.jQuery.unique;
is included before the initialization of the Kendo UI widgets.
Please, accept our apology for the inconvenience caused!
