jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid

David,

Thank you for this. One of the big difference between jqGrid and others is the speed. This property is at first place. But having this we do not have a ton of other properies that nobody will use. We have a methods for customising this - i.e with a little programing you can achieve this. I recommend you to use afterInsertRow event and setCell method. The only thinng that you should do is to write your own date formater. The code should something like this:

afterInsertRow : function(rowid, datarow) {

// here is the code to format your date something like

mynewdate = customfunc(datarow.mydate);

$(”#mygrid”).setCell(rowid,'mydate',mynewdate);

}

The clear solution here is that the date should be formated server side

Now about the sorting. Currently jqGrid support sorting of dates only if they are numbers. I think that this shuld be corrected and mybe will be done soon.

Best Regards

Tony

You can do that easy.

Use onSortCol (this event fires before sorting)

onSortCol : function (colname, colindex) {

if(colname == "visible_col") {

$("#mygrid").setGridParam({sortname:"hidden_col"});

//no need to use triger reloadgrid

}

}

The only missing part here is a sorting image

jqGrid is flexible

Best Regards

Tony
