Default sort direction of data store in grid

[cunami]

This applies only to the loading sort of the grid, not the column header click sorts.

Anyone has found a solution for this problem?

I am not sure, but I think that should work

While creating a reader (I'll take for this example XmlReader) object, you have to pass recordType parameter. There you specify list of your names, e.g.

[ 'col1, 'col2', 'col3' ]

, and this later is passed to Ext.data.Record.create(), according to the docs. And on its documentation there is a config option "sortDir". So if you pass not only the name, but configuration options too, then it should work:

[ {name: 'col1', sortDir: 'DESC'}, 'col2', 'col3' ]

I think I have tried that, but I am not sure anymore Try and see

[ {name: 'col1', sortDir: 'DESC'}, 'col2', 'col3' ]

Yeah, that's it, thank you!

You should probably post 4.0 topics in 4.0 threads, but here is an override that is your solution that I just made:

Ext.override(Ext.grid.column.Column, {    
    oppositeSort: false,


    toggleSortState: function() {
        var me = this,
            idx,
            nextIdx;


        if (me.sortable) {
            idx = Ext.Array.indexOf(me.possibleSortStates, me.sortState);
            if(this.oppositeSort && idx == -1)
                idx = 0;


            nextIdx = (idx + 1) % me.possibleSortStates.length;
            me.setSortState(me.possibleSortStates[nextIdx]);
        }
    }
});

then in your column config just add the extra attribute oppositeSort: true and it will do what you want.
