Jqwidget soryby and gotopage event in single line

[arunthathamParticipant]

We have a Jqwidget grid in which when we need to call the grid we need to call the updatedatabound event to refresh the grid .
If a user clicks the refresh from page 3 to make sure the grid has to go to page 1 we used $(“#data”).jqxGrid(‘gotopage’, 0);
and also we need the grid to default sort by one column so the syntax for that is $(‘#data’).jqxGrid(‘sortby’, ‘DateLastReported’, ‘desc’);

But i need both the code to be combined in one line because our grid is server side implementation so for each command it goes to server side i dont want that to happen.
Please suggest.

Hello arunthatham,

Unfortunately, these two commands cannot be combined into one server call.

Thanks for the reply,
I have another question we have a server side jqwidget grid implementation by default when the initilization happens i need the grid to sort based on one column decending order.
I dont want a solution like having the piece of code “$(‘#data’).jqxGrid(‘sortby’, ‘DateLastReported’, ‘desc’);” written in binding complete.
Instead i need in initilization itself,Because if i put in binding complete it makes first call without default sort and then once it comes to binding complete from there it will make another server call.
Please suggest…

Hi arunthatham,

In this case, set the source object’s sortcolumn and sortdirection properties. Here is more information from the grid’s API Documentation:

sortcolumn – determines the initial sort column. The expected value is a data field name.
sortdirection – determines the sort order. The expected value is ‘asc’ for (A to Z) sorting or ‘desc’ for (Z to A) sorting.
