sort

To enable the sorting plugin. Sort has two config objects:

• Generic config: to enable sort for all columns, enable multi column sort, server-side integration, etc.
• Column specific config: to enable sort on a specific column, to set custom comparator function, etc.

Generic sort config

• optional
• Type: boolean or GenericSortConfig
• Example: Sorting

GenericSortConfig type has the following properties:

Name	Description	Type
enabled	to enable/disable sorting	boolean
multiColumn optional	Enable/disable multi column sort	boolean
server optional	Server-side integration	ServerConfig

To simply enable sort for all columns:

new Grid({
  data: [
    ['John', 'john@example.com', '(353) 01 222 3333'],
    ['Mark', 'mark@gmail.com',   '(01) 22 888 4444'],
    ['Eoin', 'eo3n@yahoo.com',   '(05) 10 878 5554'],
    ['Nisen', 'nis900@gmail.com',   '313 333 1923']
  ],
  sort: true
});

To disable multi column sorting:

new Grid({
  data: [
    ['John', 'john@example.com', '(353) 01 222 3333'],
    ['Mark', 'mark@gmail.com',   '(01) 22 888 4444'],
    ['Eoin', 'eo3n@yahoo.com',   '(05) 10 878 5554'],
    ['Nisen', 'nis900@gmail.com',   '313 333 1923']
  ],
  sort: {
    multiColumn: false
  }
});

Column specific sort config

• optional
• Type: boolean or SortConfig
• Example: Custom sort

SortConfig type has the following properties:

Name	Description	Type
enabled	to enable/disable sorting	boolean
compare optional	custom comparator function	Comparator<TCell>

To disable sort on a specific column:

new Grid({
  columns: [
    'Name',
    'Email',
    { 
      name: 'Phone Number',
      sort: {
        enabled: false
      }
    }
  ],
  sort: true,
  data: [
    ['John', 'john@example.com', '+353 40 222 3333'],
    ['Mark', 'mark@gmail.com',   '+1 22 888 4444'],
  ]
});

Or to use a custom comparator on a column:

new Grid({
  columns: [
    'Name',
    'Email',
    { 
      name: 'Phone Number',
      sort: {
        compare: (a, b) => {
          if (a > b) {
            return 1;
          } else if (b > a) {
            return -1;
          } else {
            return 0;
          }
        }
      }
    }
  ],
  sort: true,
  data: [
    ['John', 'john@example.com', '+353 40 222 3333'],
    ['Mark', 'mark@gmail.com',   '+1 22 888 4444'],
  ]
});
