Description

Property; a Boolean value that indicates whether a column can be sorted by a user (true) or not (false). The DataGrid.sortableColumns property must be set to true for this property to take effect. 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 prevents the column at index 1 from being sorted:

// Set grid attributes.
my_dg.setSize(150, 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 sort of the second column.
my_dg.getColumnAt(1).sortable = false;
