Hi,
I have a RadGrid with around 15 columns and I show around 250 rows of data.
I want the client side sorting functionality on this Grid.
I tried many examples proposed in this thread, but couldn't achieve this functionality.
I also tried ajaxifying the Grid. It did the Sort, but it's still a Semi-Server Sort.
My Data Bind methods are on the Server Side. Can I achieve the Client Side Sorting so that this process becomes faster?
I saw some examples using Webservice in this thread. But I am not using Web Service in my design.
Please let me know how this can be accomplished?
Thanks
Srinivas

Hi Srinivas,
Thank you for contacting us.
Unfortunately the RadGrid does not support the desired functionality. The sorting functionality is performed over the data source to which the RadGrid is bound. If you bound the RadGrid on the server a post back is needed in order to apply sorting expression and return sorted data. If you want to have client side sorting you need to bind the RadGrid on the client. Also if you do not need any web services you could bind the RadGrid to web methods which are placed into the code behind file of the page. On the following link you could find online example which demonstrates this:
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/client/databinding/defaultcs.aspx
Please give it try and let me know if it helps you. Looking forward for your reply.

Hi Radoslav,
Thanks for replying.
I tried the example in you reply.
However the updateGrid method does not fire for me. I put the debugger in the Javascript method.
The Debugger flows from pageLoad method in the Javascript to the Web Method (Not a Web Service, It's a Page Method with a Web Method Attribute), gets the data, forms a collection, returns it, but does not go to the Update Grid Method.
What I am I Missing?
I am coding in VS 2008 and my Telerik Dll's are of version:
a) Telerik.Web.UI : 2011.3.1305.35
b) Telerik.Web.Design : 2011.3.1305.35
c) Telerik.Web.UI.Skins : 2011.3.1305.35 .
Please let me know...This is very Urgent...I need it really badly..
Thanks once again for your help.

Hi Radoslav,
I found out the Issue. I had an Issue with JSON Serialiazation.
I fixed that Issue.
Thanks for your Help.

Does RadGrid still not support Client-Side sorting without binding the data on the client side?

Hello,
The behavior described by Radoslav stands true. In order to use client-side operations for the grid you should bind it on the client. Check out the following resources that illustrate different approaches you can use to bind the RadGrid client-side.
