Hi,

That's one of the area where some users wanted it this way and some people wanted it to be the other way. We believe sorting the whole data set makes more sense because user often wants to be able to sort first, then go to certain page to look for what they are after and because the whole Grid is sorted, if they can not find what they look for in the current page, they will know whether they should go forward or backwards. If we were to sort within a simple page the user would be completely lost when they can not find what they look for in the current page.

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for your suggestions. We have looked into this before and decided against it. Supporting both would be nice, but we were concerned about making the component over bloated or complicated because comparing with GridSort, PageSort is much less used. In reality, it is not practical for us to include all requested features, thus we decided against this one.

However the Grid doesn't do it doesn't mean you can't do it by yourself. You can handle ColumnSort event to do the sort by yourself:

Since it is a server side event, it only works on Server Mode or Callback mode. Which means you will not have sorting on the client side.

Thanks
