var fdata = $('#grid').getGridParam('data');

        fdata[parseInt(_selectedRow)-1].col1 = bool_checkboxstate;

    I have a jqGrid with the first column set to editable checkbox. The grid is set to load once with sorting enabled. 

If we change the value of the checkbox and try sorting the grid, the checkbox values gets reset to the old value of the checkbox.

How do I make sure the jqGrid retains the changed checkbox value even after resorting or searching ?

Thanks a lot.

Code Snippet

       data.grid.colModel[0].editoptions =  "{value:'true: false'}";     data.grid.colModel[0].edittype = "checkbox";            

       data.grid.colModel[0].editable =  "true";    data.grid.colModel[0].formatoptions = {"disabled": "false"};      

       data.grid.colModel[0].formatter = "checkbox";

  //  I have set up a click event on all of these checkboxes.

    $('#grid' + ' input.markAsViewed').live('click', function(event, name) {

         _selectedRow = $(this).parents('tr').attr('id');

         var checkboxval = $(this).attr('checked');

         var data = $('#' + _widgetName + '_table').jqGrid('getRowData', _selectedRow );

         // Now I can do work with the data for the selected row.
