I feel like I must be missing something very obvious. I have this:

<telerik:RadClientDataSource ID="RadClientDataSource1" runat="server" AllowBatchOperations="true" ClientEvents-OnRequestStart="RequestStart" ClientEvents-OnRequestEnd="ResponseEnd">

<DataSource>

<WebServiceDataSourceSettings>

<Select DataType="JSON" />

</WebServiceDataSourceSettings>

</DataSource>

<Schema>

<Model ID="DialogIDChecksum">

..

<telerik:ClientDataSourceModelField FieldName="ConferenceDateTime" DataType="Date" />

..

</Model>

</Schema>

<SortExpressions>

<telerik:ClientDataSourceSortExpression FieldName="ConferenceDateTime" SortOrder="Desc" />

</SortExpressions>

</telerik:RadClientDataSource>

And it is tied to a RadGrid. Everything loads perfectly but it's not sorted. Is there something special I need to do in the RadGrid so it uses the SortExpressions object in the RadClientDataSource?

Thanks,

Richard

Hi Richard,

Does sorting work as expected upon clicking the column header? Generally, you can try to add the sort expression using dataSource.get_sortExpressions().add method similar to this live demo:
https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/clientdatasource/functionality/paging-and-sorting/defaultcs.aspx

If the issue remains, we can prepare a sample RadGrid web site sample to demonstrate how you can achieve that and send it to you.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
