[Solved] Problem sorting grid with HeaderTemplate

[Mario]

Hi guys!
I've a problem with the Grid component; I'm trying to sort columns with HeaderTemplate but it didn't works
The columns with the Title property works fine, but the columns with the HeaderTemplate didn't works.
Here my code

Html.Telerik().Grid(Model.listValori)

           .Name("Articles")

           .Columns(columns =>

               {

                   columns.Bound(e => e.IDArticle).Template(e => {Response.Write(e.IDArticle); })
                               .Title("Id Article");


              columns.Bound(e => e.isVisible).Template(e => {Response.Write(e.isVisible);})                                            

                       .HeaderTemplate("<img src='/img/myimg.gif'  />")

                       .Width(40);

                                    columns.Bound(e => e.Description).Template(e =>{ Response.Write(e.Description);})                      

                       .Title("Description")

                       .Width(40);

               })                        

               .Scrollable(200)

               .Sortable()

               .Footer(false)             

               .HtmlAttributes(new { @class = "TelerikGridArticle" })

           .Render();

I can sort the first and the third column but not the second.
Is there a workaround to sort a column with HeaderTemplate filled?

Thank You!

Hello Mario,

The header template should contain a clickable element, which triggers sorting by means of a custom Javascript function. Please use the Grid client API:

Hello Dimo,

I have attempted to use the code detailed in your link. Using the code:

var grid = $("#Grid").data("tGrid");

I am able to manipulate the grid just fine. eg, hide columns, show columns. etc. But for some reason the line: 

grid.sort("OrderID-desc");

is not sorting the grid. Can you suggest some possible reasons?

Thank you,
