grouping grid with the first char

[nicolabaldo]

I use ExtJs 4.1.3 and Architect.
I've got a grid with the fields: name and surname.
I need to group the surname by the first char, for example:

A:
ANDERSON GINA
ANDERSON PAOLA

B:
BAT MAN
BAT MOBILE

...

I set the groupField= surname[0] but It doesn't work...
Any solution?
Thanks.

You can override the "getGroupString" method on your grouper to return the first character of that field.

It works with ExtJ s4.1.3 but withExtJs 4.2 no!

Interesting; sounds like a Ext JS 4.2 bug. Could you provide a simple example for me to pass along to the Ext JS team?

The store needs to be configured with

groupers: {
                    property: "nome",
                    getGroupString: function(record) {
                        debugger;
                        return record.get('nome')[0];
                    }
                },

Did you read my next post about the override?

[aconran]

The override needs to run before the beforerender.

Link it as a static file resource, click + at the top of the inspector -> Resource -> JS Resource. This is where the override belongs.
