datasource override sort parameter name

[Craig]

Hi I have a remote server api that expects the sort params to be "sortBy" (name of field to sort), and "sort" (direction).

How can I change the kendo ui datasource transport read event to send these instead of the default "sort" object.

the below does not work, because Sort is getting overwritten by the underlying kendo code:

data: function (e) {
                        
                        if (e.sort) {
                            var r = { sortBy: e.sort[0].field, sort: e.sort[0].dir };
                            
                            console.log(r);
                            return r;
                        }
                        else return "";
                        
                    }

Nevermind, I forgot about parameterMap:

,
                parameterMap: function (e, type) {
                    if (e.sort[0]) {
                        
                        e.sortBy = e.sort[0].field;
                        e.sort = e.sort[0].dir;                      
                    }
                    console.log(e);
                    return e;
                }
