Server-Side Sorting

Datagrid sorting is switched on by using: sorting: { enabled: true } property. When a data sort is applied in the datagrid a request with Sorting data object is made via 'virtualDataSource' on the Server-Side Datasource. The server uses the SQL query sent by the Server-Side Datasource to sort the rows.

This example uses a demo server with AlaSQL that generates SQL to show how a real server might use the requests sent by the Datagrid. The Server-Side Datagrid usage does not have any restrictions on the server-side technologies used.
