Usage

myDataGrid.sortableColumns

Description

Property; a Boolean value that determines whether the columns of the data grid can be sorted (true) or not (false) when a user clicks the column headers. This property must be true for individual columns to be sortable, and for the headerRelease event to be broadcast. The default value is true.

CAUTION

The DataGrid is not editable or sortable if it is bound directly to a WebServiceConnector component or an XMLConnector component. You must bind the DataGrid component to the DataSet component and bind the DataSet component to the WebServiceConnector component or XMLConnector component if you want the grid to be editable or sortable.

Example

The following example turns off sorting:

my_dg.setSize(140, 100);

// Set up sample data.
my_dg.addItem({name:"Clark", score:3135});
my_dg.addItem({name:"Bruce", score:403});
my_dg.addItem({name:"Peter", score:25});

// Don't allow columns to be sorted.
my_dg.sortableColumns = false;
