I'm using Custom Binding via AJAX to sort my data source.
The grid columns do not show any sort indicators.
In contrast, when not doing custom binding but let Kendo UI handle it, sort indicators are being displayed.
My question:
How can I tell the grid columns to show sort indicators, even if I'm using custom binding?

Hi Uwe,
The sort indicator would be shown only when the data items have been sorted by clicking on the column's header cell or when the sort is applied to the data source of the grid. That said, if you would like to indicate the sort, you should sort the data source of the grid as well.
Let me know in case further clarifications are needed.
Kind regards,

Thank you.
Of course does the user click the header. Still, the sort indicators are not shown, as long as Custom Binding is being used.
To me, this looks like a bug.

Hi Uwe,
When using the Custom Ajax Binding, then all the basic functionalities like filtering, sorting, and grouping have to be handled. If they have been implemented, the grid will show sort indicators accordingly. We have created a live demo which exposes such data source configuration along with implementations of the functionalities of interest.
Grid / Custom ajax binding
Please note that when the sorting is applied from the column header the sort indicator is shown. Can you compare it to the project on your side and check out which are the crucial differences between the two?
Ideally, it would be great if you can send me a runnable project in which the faulty behavior can be replicated. This would enable me to debug the issue locally and provide an accurate suggestion regarding the specific use-case.

Thank you, it was my fault that I had custom CSS rules to hide the arrow.
Sorry for all the trouble and thank you very much for your patient help!
