Binding sort to a select dropdown?

[Brainshark]

I've been looking through the APIs to see if there's a documented method for binding the sort functions built into the header easily to a select dropdown? We want to hide the TH elements (using CSS) and only sort using a dropdown. Ideas?

Hi Brainshark,

I am afraid the described functionality is not supported out of the box in Kendo UI, however you can easily achieve it using additional code. As a possible approach I can suggest the following:

• Hook up to the DropDownList's change event; 
• In such event use the dataSource's sort() method to sort the Grid.
