I tried the loadonce:true which worked for allowing client side sorting, but then the paging stopped working and the grid only loaded the first 10 records.

Thanks

Hello,

Note that you load just a file. There is no server side sorting.

In order to do what you want in this case you will need to set the grid parameter

loadonce: true

Additionalyy to that you will need to set a sorttype options in colModel.

see documentation.

I have my grid loading properly and I would like to make the columns sortable. I have similar code to the online xml example but clicking the column headers does nothing. Thanks

jQuery("#props").jqGrid({
      url:'data.xml',
      colNames:['Id', 'Name', 'Common Name', 'Value', 'Desc'],
      colModel:[
           {name:'id', index:'id', hidden:true},
           {name:'name', index:'name', hidden:true},
           {name:'commonName', index:'commonName', width:255},
           {name:'value', index:'value', width:200},
     {name:'description', index:'description', hidden:true}
      ],
      datatype: 'xml',
      rowNum:10,
      height:'auto',
      pager: '#pager',

sortname: 'commonName',
viewrecords: true
});
