Well, I got it all working after all (not sure what was wrong before). So if you want to enable local sorting, via jqGridImport:

<datatype>xml</datatype>
<loadonce>true</loadonce>

does the trick!

Thanks!

Could you please send me the xml configuration - in my email (and if possible some part of the data generated from the server). At best it will be good if you send me a link to the problem.

The datatype is xml.

And I have not tried the grid without import. But everything works fine, except for the local sorting. And I can get the local sorting to work by one of the following two methods:

1. Once the grid is loaded, click on a link which is bound via

$("#s1").click(function() {
  jQuery("#xmlist1").setGridParam({datatype:"clientSide"});
});

or (so that local sorting is enabled automatically):

2. via

setTimeout("MyInit()", 400);

where MyInit() is:

function MyInit() {
  jQuery("#xmlist1").setGridParam({datatype:"clientSide"});
}

However, #1 requires manual intervention, and #2 is kludgy since you don't really know how long to wait for.

Thanks for your help,

David

It should work as any other option.

How is defined in the import the datatype parameter?

If you do not use import - is the grid woring in this case?

<loadonce>true</loadonce>

it doesn't really work - no errors, and it apparantly is not going back to the server, but when I click on a column to sort, nothing happens. If, on the other hand, I click on a link which fires a

jQuery("#xmlist1").setGridParam({datatype:"clientSide"});

the sorts all work.

So is this a bug in what I am doing? Perhaps loadonce doesn't work via jqGridImport? Or am I just doing the wrong thing?

Thanks!

David

Enjoy using the option loadonce:true. Also do not forget to set the appropriate sorttype in colModel. Read the docs

I would like to load an xml file but do clientSide sorting when a heading label is clicked. Is it possible to do that? There is no paging, or anything requiring a server.

It would seem that "datatype" can be either "xml" or "clientSide" - but I want a bit of both.

Thank you.
