Sorting with a calculated model field in the dataSource

[DJ]

I've created a dojo here to demonstrate my question.

http://dojo.telerik.com/ikArE

When creating a set of functions under schema, model for a datasource and then refereing to them like "field: 'Functionname()'" in the columns for the grid, it appears to load correctly, but attempting to sort on by clicking the column header results in "d.Functionname" is not a function error.

Is this not supported or is there something else wrong?

Hello DJ,

Unfortunately, the demonstrated scenario is not supported as the sorting is done based on a field in the dataSource, but as this calculated field(using values of other fields) is not part of the dataSource, it cannot be successfully sorted.

In this scenario, I can only suggest having this calculated field in the controller and bound its values to the Grid dataSource instance.

Let me know if you need additional information on this matter.
