Gridview with API Call : Filtering, Sorting ?

[moe]

     Hello,

I am using the RadGridView for displaying our list of data, but this data is getting bigger and bigger so to improve performance we added paging to our Api

(Data to the gridview is populated through the API not directly from the database).

My Concern is that we I apply paging on the API , I will lose the built in sorting and filtering in the grid as It will only sort the return data.

Is there a way to apply filtering and sorting as calls to the API and I will handle the request on my API.

 

any help would be appreciated.
