Server side sorting doesn't render as expeceted

Edit: Thought this was a ticket but realized I was wrong and have now added a support ticket for this issue.

Hi, 

We have a grid that we would like to populate with server side sorted information. So what we did was this:

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<MyProject.ViewModels.Calculation.WorkGridItem>()

      .Name("grid")

      .BindTo(Model.WorkGrid.WorkGridItems)

      .Columns(c =>

                   {

                       c.Bound(i => i.Identifier).Title("Id");

                       c.Bound(i => i.Name).Title("Namn");

                       c.Bound(i => i.City).Title("Stad");

 

                       c.Bound(i => i.Status).Title("Status");

                       c.Bound(i => i.StartDate).Title("Start");

                       c.Bound(i => i.EndDate).Title("Slut");

                       c.Bound(i => i.Created).Title("Skapad");

                       c.Bound(i => i.SigningDate).Title("Signatur");

                   })

            .ClientDetailTemplateId("expandedRowTemplate")

            .Events(l => l.DetailInit("OnLoadDetail"))

            .Events(ev => ev.DetailExpand("detailExpand"))

            .Pageable(x =>

                    {

                        x.PageSizes(new int[] { 50, 100, 200 });

                        x.Refresh(true);

                    })

        .Sortable(x => x.Enabled(true))

        .DataSource(ds => ds.

                            Ajax()

                            .ServerOperation(true)

                            .Read(read => read

                                              .Action("ReadGridItems", "Calculations",

                                                      new

                                                          {

                                                              selectedTab = Model.Tabs.SelectedTab().Value,

                                                              gridType = Model.PageHeaderSearch.SelectedSearchType,

                                                              searchString = Model.PageHeaderSearch.SearchWord,

                                                               

                                                          })

                                              .Type(HttpVerbs.Post)

                            )

                            .PageSize(50)

We then sort the data, and returns the data source and I can see it being sorted the way I want it to. However, when the data is redered in the grid it is all messed up. 

When sorting desc on one of the columns, the date would look like this:

28.02.2013
28.02.2013
28.02.2013
28.02.2013
28.02.2013
26.02.2013
25.03.2013
25.02.2014
25.02.2013


Why is this? By setting ServerOperation to true, whould that not then let me do the sorting on the server side and then let me just render the data? 

Any thought on this?
