    Default Multi-sort support

    Multi-sort support


    Hi,

    Is it possible to implement multi-sorting for table/grid columns in some way?

    This is a "must have" feature for any advanced data table/grid.

    GXT (ExtGWT) has sort options for Table - you set them on the column.

    There is no Grid widget, are you working on ExtJS ??

    Yes, there is a sort option but only for a single column.
    Check GXT API for SortInfo class - it contains sorting information only for one column.
    If I want to do multi-sort I need a list of columns which a user chose to sort. Also there should be some indication on table on screen showing to user information about sorted columns.
    And there should be a way to choose all columns needed to sort in order before sending request to server.

    By Grid widget I meant the one from the GXT 1.1 demo preview. Looking at the demo it looks like there is still no way to do multi-sorting.

    Grid only supports single column sorting.

    Will there be multi sort implementation for Grid and Table in future?
