[Solved] Switching sorting from multiple to single and back

[Markus]

Hi

In my example below I took your demo for multiple sorting (good one!) and created a button with which I can change the sorting type.

http://dojo.telerik.com/ARaMA

I am refreshing the grid after changing the sorting type, but the grid does not seem to refresh properly.

I have variables initially set to "multiple" and true (for multiple sort as per your example)
sortable: {
            mode: sortmode,
             allowUnsort: sortunsort
},
.. and I change them on button click so "single" and false and then do
$('#multipleSort').data('kendoGrid').dataSource.read();
$('#multipleSort').data('kendoGrid').refresh();

..which does not properly update.

I also tried changing
$('#multipleSort').data('kendoGrid').options.sortable.mode = "single";
$('#multipleSort').data('kendoGrid').options.sortable.allowUnsort = false;

but again I do not update correctly because it does have no effect, even though it is actually set.

Many thanks

Hello,

As from Q3 2014, the Grid supports the setOptions method, which can change particular feature/option (in your case the sorting) dynamically.

I also modified your dojo sample to use the setOptions method and it works fine now.
