hello,

I would like to totally change the sort behaviour (in an experimental way).

I know of the onSortCol event; but I also know that it does not allow to "abandon" the sorting in a regular way.

So I would like to provide my own sortData method. Is there a more "release-robust" way then to patch into grid.base.js ?

My dream is "monkey-patching", after loading jquery and jqgrid having an additional code with

jqGrid.sortData=function (index, idxcol,reload,sor) {

// my own implementation

}

can somebody give me a hint how to do this monkey-patching?

best wishes

Harald

Hello,

Good point. Also for now not possible, but maybe one possible solution is to use the onSortCol event and depending on what this event return to enable/disable the remaining processing. Will think on this.

Thanks

....sorry, wanted to "replay" and not "report"....

I think using onSortCol is a really good idea, the fitting patch would be:

if($.isFunction(ts.p.onSortCol)) {if (ts.p.onSortCol.call(ts,index,idxcol,so)=='stop') {return;}}

I recommend using "stop" as communication value instead of 0,1 or true or false, as the effect on existing usages would be minimal.

best wishes,

Harald
