baseSort clarification

[tsemachh]

Hi
looking at baseSort Doc :
from https://github.com/oria/gridx/wiki/How-to-Sort-a-Column-in-Gridx

And you can never clear the sort. The data in grid will appear that this is its "base" order, and you can only sort on the base of it, and clear back to it.

What I saw and tested:

1. When this is set with no initialOrder this works as expected , also when sort is cleared this goes back to it.
2. When initialOrder is set or when user performs sort Operation the sorting is not done on the base of it , it just overrides it.
   So my understanding - it just gives the default base Order before sort is invoked by user from API/UI - this is now what I understood from the Wiki.

Can you please clarify it ?
thx
tsemach.

Can you tell me what kind of store are you using? Memory store or JsonRestStore ?

[tsemachh]

Actually dojo/store/DataStore on top of DWR Store..
But I saw it also on the tests on the Demo like:
/test_grid_nestedSort.html
When I played with the baseSort as followed:

  baseSort: [{attribute: 'Year', descending: true}],
    sortInitialOrder: [{colId: 'id', descending: true}, {colId: 'Name', descending: false}],

The actual sort was ignoring the baseSort , and also if I removed the sortInitialOrder after sorting it was ignoring that as well

I need to verify with the module writter to see if this is a truely a defect.

Can you please try

                    // sortSpec = sortSpec.concat(bs);
                    sortSpec = bs.concat(sortSpec);

in /gridx/core/model/extension/sort.js

to see if it meet your needs.

[tsemachh]

Yup - this works as expected , I am not sure if that's the design but the documentation is in that spirit.
thank you.

[yurychika]

I will double check with @zhuxw .
thanks for the support.

Problem with Sorting with Tree Module ( 3 level nesting )

Is there a way to say column 1 , 2 , 3 must be sorted together?

IE: columns ( isle, racks, shelf )
when you expand isle tree and sort on isle again..
the racks don't follow the isle....

[tsemachh]

Once the fix will be on Master and assuming the sort there goes through same code ,
using the baseSort will provide you the capability of sorting on top of fixed base sort ,
in tree it will usually be the tree break levels columns.

Tsemachh.....

Thank you... So is that fix coming soon or in GridX 1.2 .... ???

[tsemachh]

I am back to it now , It's still not fixed in lastest Code I took from Master - can you please check it again ?

+1 for this, it is just a one line change, would be nice to have this merged into the repo
