[Solved] Customize sort click on header/sort icon

[Aneesh Pulukkul]

Please find the the requirements I am working on:

1. On click of header column text, sorting should nothappen.
2. Header should display default sort icon - Up and Down arrows.
3. On click on up arrow and down arrow icons column should be sorted in ascesding and descending order respectively.

 

Challanges - 
  

1. How to disable sorting command triggering on column header click? It's rendered as a link button I believe. Not sure where exactly it's hooking the click event.
2. Default sort icon is a single image containing both up and down arrows - How we can segregate the sort behavior on up and down arrows?
   
   Would appreciate any inputs.
   
   Thanks,
   Aneesh
