I would pay good money for a js flexigrid file that could sort. Been trying to get this to work for hours… Please post or email me… (s.woods@yahoo.com)

Thanks a lot, it work great.
We can even use this for non-static data as well.
I don’t think we require to fetch sorting result from server at all.

I also make inPlaceSort with a flag:

if (p.onChangeSort)
p.onChangeSort(p.sortname, p.sortorder);
else if(!p.url || p.inPlaceSort)
this.inPlaceSort();
else
this.populate();

And define inPlaceSort to true .

Awesome work. Have 1 doubts about flexigrid + 1 suggestion to your plugin..

Suggestion : The above code doesn’t consider the background if we use the striped feature.
The following code kind of fixes it.

$.each(rows, function() {
if (i % 2 && p.striped) $(this).addClass(‘erow’);
else $(this).removeClass(‘erow’);
$(parent).append(this);
i = i + 1;
});

My Question : Is is possible to have pagination when I don’t have dynamic table using ajax? If no, then do I need to write a function like above??

I never did receive an email from you; and I searched for your name in my gmail spam but nothing came up. So if you tried to send me that example, uh…. try again, I guess.

The sorting is working. But probably I have made some errors. When i click on row headers it does not sort immediately. It sorts when I click on the header for the second time.

Minor update, I applied the patch by hand.

Hi Nick,

Thanks for the reply. I will send out a patched version of my flexigrid.js and a sample html file over email. I am not good at javascript and so I will try to get all my doubts clear in my head and the approach I followed to get sort working after going through the source once more. Please bear with me and the delay. I will revert back to your email. Thanks a lot again.

Hi Alok,

Hard to make a suggestion unless I can see what’s going wrong. Did you use gnu patch to apply the patch, or do it by hand?

Why don’t you shoot me an email (address is easily found here on the website) and hopefully I can help you sort it out. Send your patched version of flexigrid.js and some simple example HTML/javascript that shows the problem.
