inPlaceSortBoolean(default: false)
If set to true, the original Array used as data will be sorted when sorting operation is performed. This setting supported only with local data, bound to a JavaScript array via the data option.
Example
<div id="grid"></div>
<script>
var originalArray = [
{ name: "John", age: 25 },
{ name: "Jane", age: 30 },
{ name: "Bob", age: 20 }
];
var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
data: originalArray,
inPlaceSort: true,
sort: { field: "name", dir: "asc" }
});
dataSource.read();
// The original array is now sorted in place
console.log(originalArray[0].name); // "Bob"
$("#grid").kendoGrid({
dataSource: dataSource
});
