Reset Sorting from clientside

[Toby]

Is it possible? I have tried

from http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/grid_sort.html

var masterTable = $find("<%= RadGrid1.ClientID %>").get_masterTableView();
masterTable.sort("");

but it does not seem to do anything?

I need to do it from client side as when you click on different nodes in in my treeview it will rebinds the grid to different columns, so it needs to clear the column sort at the same time.

thanks
Toby

Hi Toby,

You could not reset the sorting of the RadGrid on the client side. However you could achieve it on server side by clearing the RadGrid1.MasterTableView.SortExpressions collection, and rebinding the control. This will make sure no sort expressions are present. For example you could firing the grid command from client side:

var masterTable = $find("<%= RadGrid1.ClientID %>").get_masterTableView();
masterTable.fireCommand("CustomCommand");

Then on server side you could handle this command into the ItemCommand event:

void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CommandName == "CustomCommand")
    {
        RadGrid1.MasterTableView.SortExpressions.Clear();
        RadGrid1.Rebind();
    }
}

Please give it try and let me know if it helps you.

I have tried that but the server side method

RadGrid1_ItemCommand

does not get fired when calling it from javascript i.e.

masterTable.fireCommand("CustomCommand");

the server method does get called ok when performing sorting etc so the event is wired up correctly, Do I need to do anything else to enabled custom commands to be fired?

thanks
