Thanks again,

        var neworder = $("#tbloperatorgroups").jqGrid("getDataIDs").join(',');

Thanks for the tip.

I now have the following:

and the grid visually sorts and posts to the server, but neworder contains an array of $undefined=undefined (one for each row inthe grid)

If I change the "var neworder" line to

I get the same result.

When I create the data, I include a < row id > element

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Reg

Instead of serialize I recommend you to use getDataIDs method to obtain the ids of the grid and post them to the server.

Thanks for the re-direction. I have made the change to how I create the grid and the related calls, but am still missing something in my understanding. My code now looks like this:

    $("#tbloperatorgroups").jqGrid('sortableRows', {
        update: function(event, ui) {
        var posturl = 'wc.dll?PSProcess~AjaxReseq~&amp;Data=OperatorGroups&amp;sk=2YZ0HTYFD06840&amp;sh=104'; 
        var neworder = $("#tbloperatorgroups").sortable("serialize");
        $.post( posturl, neworder, function(message,status) {
            if(status != 'success') {
                alert(message);
              }
          })
        }
      })

but neworder contains &undefined = undefined

If I try to put an underscore in the name of the id attribute, the way the jQuery docs suggest, I get the same error.

        var neworder = $("#tbloperatorgroups").sortable("serialize",[id='row_id']);

So I am still doing something wrong.

I still need some help, please.

Thanks

The way that you use this is not correct. The sortable rows method should not be called in grid Complete event, but after the creation of the grid.

Go into the demo

New in version 3.6 => Sortable Row example

There is a code which will give you a idea.

Also you can set the update event in the same method

Hope this helps

Best Regards

      gridComplete : function () {
          $("#tbloperatorgroups").jqGrid('sortableRows');
         }

....

    $( "#tbloperatorgroups" ).bind( "sortupdate", function(event, ui) {
            var posturl = updating url ending with: &amp;PK='+row.id; 
            var neworder = $.sortable.serialize();
            $.post( posturl, neworder, function(message,status) {
                if(status != 'success') {
                    alert(message);
                  }
              })
          }
      ) ;

This code snippet has been copied from the tableDnD approach and may no longer be the way to do things. The error I get is that "row" (in the posturl) is unknown. 

How do I include the ID of the moved row -- or do I not need to anymore? The documentation isn't very helpful on this.

Thanks
