ui.igGridSorting

ui.igGridSorting_image

Both the igGrid and igHierarchicalGrid controls feature column sorting. This feature allows users to order the rows in the grid according the sort order of a given column. Both ascending and descending sort directions are available. Further information regarding the classes, options, events, methods and themes of this API are available under the associated tabs above.

The following code snippet demonstrates how to initialize the igGrid control.
