Get Sorted Items without Paging

[Michalis]

hi,

Is there any way to programmatically get the datasource in a grid with the items sorted as the user has selected?

The following:

$(grid).data("kendoGrid").dataSource.view()

takes into account grid paging also, and does not return the items of the entire datasource sorted. Can I get somehow all dataitems sorted regardless of paging?

Thanks in advacne

Hello Michalis,

The dataSource does not keep a sorted collection separately. In order to get the ordered data for all pages you should perform the sorting on the dataSource observable array which can be found through the data method. The Kendo Query could be used for that purpose e.g.

var grid = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid");
var dataSource = grid.dataSource;
var data = dataSource.data();
var sort = dataSource.sort();
var query = new kendo.data.Query(data);
var sortedData = query.sort(sort).data;

Kind regards,
