DataSourceRequest and sort icon

[Vikash]

I am able to save Grid's sort, reorder and hidden states to database and also able to load Grid state based on saved data. For reorder and hidden columns, I am getting stored information on client side and hiding/reordering columns accordingly.

It is having icon problem when I am restoring state for sort from database. The sorting process is working fine after manipulation of DataSourceRequest but it is not able to show descending/ascending icon on columns. If I am manually putting Sort methods under Kendo MVC wrapper then it is working fine but I need them dynamically generated.

Please suggest what needs to done.

Hi Vikash,

Please note that we already provide example of preserving the grid state in a cookie and restoring it on next page load where the sorting icon is working as expected - you can use this example as a baseline to achieve the desired behavior. Also for convenience I created a jsBin example from the CodeLibrary:

• jsBin example of preserving the grid state in a cookie

I have changed the approach for saving and restoring kendo grid state. Hopefully, for someone it can help out.
