Dates not sorting correctly in Grid

[Mike]

Date is not sorting correctly in my grid. It seems that older dates than 2000 are not sorting correctly. In the database, the data type is datetime2. 

Here is the code for the grid:

    $("#reportsGridIn").kendoGrid({
        selectable: "multiple",
        sortable: {
            allowUnsort: false,
            initialDirection: "asc"
        },
        schema: {
            model: {
                fields: {
                    transDate: { type: "date" }
                }
            }
        },
        columns: [
          { field: "id", hidden: true },
          { field: "corporationName", title: "Corporation", width: 20 },
          { field: "transDate", title: "Trans Date", width: 18, template: "#= kendo.toString(new Date(parseInt(transDate.substr(6))),'MM/dd/yyyy')#", type: "date" },
          { field: "headline", title: "Headline", width: 38 },
          { field: "marketScope", title: "Market Scope", width: 25 }
        ]
    });

Thanks,

Mike

Hello Mike,

Thank you for the provided code, as for the screenshot I can assume that there was a server issue at that moment. If needed, the screenshot can be hosted on a third party service and we can access the link.

I used one of our demos with dates, and they are sorted as expected if they are before 2000:

http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/grid/remote-data-binding

Also, in the code snippet, the schema is set in the Grid configurations, but it has to be in the dataSource configuration as otherwise, it will handle the dates as strings. If this was just shortened in order to reduce the code, please disregard this part.

Still, if the date format is specific, please send an example of 4 - 5 data records in the format sent from the server and I will gladly investigate further.

Regards,

I followed the example you've provided, specifically, I defined the fields in the data source, as shown in the example. That fixed the issue. Thanks!
