Custom sorting on a grid column

[Tom]

HI, i have implemented a custom sort on a grid column (coffeescript) like this:

sortable:
  compare: (a, b) ->
    # tech note: this is supposed to work, but the code is never called http://onabai.wordpress.com/2013/09/28/kendoui-grid-custom-sorting-algorithms/
    aName = _.findWhere(Dragon.prefetchData.get('supportingDocuments'), id: a)?.name
    bName = _.findWhere(Dragon.prefetchData.get('supportingDocuments'), id: b)?.name
    if aName > bName then return 1
    if aName < bName then return -1
    return 0

but the compare function is never called - what am i doing wrong?

Hello Tom,

Custom compare seems to be working here: http://jsbin.com/beyonize/1/edit. You can check the version of the script which you are using as this feature was introduce in more recent versions.

Hi Nikolay, I'm using Kendo.Web v2013.1.319 - do I need to upgrade?
