jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid

the mod post above was not very useful as the documentation provided did not give a valid response to my question.

however here is a function that will return the sorted data, it seems to work so far 🙂

    function getSortedData(gridId)
    {
        var grid = $("#" + gridId);
        var origRowNum = grid.getGridParam('rowNum');

        grid.setGridParam(
        {
            'rowNum': grid.getGridParam('data').length
        }).trigger('reloadGrid');

        var sortedData = grid.jqGrid('getRowData');

        grid.setGridParam(
        {
            'rowNum': origRowNum
        }).trigger('reloadGrid');

        return sortedData;
    }
