Setting the initial sorters on a store

[gatherworks]

There does not seem to be a way to set the initial sorters on a store that involves a couple of fields with DESC order.

Maybe you can clarify what you tried?

I just added a Store, added multiple sorters to it and then configured them. Seems to work for me.

Maybe I just don't understand how to do it then.

Let's say, I want to set this up:
sorters: [ {
property:'nuut',
direction:'DESC'
},{
property:'name',
direction:'ASC'
}]

Since there is no sorters to set in Designer, I have to set defaultSortDirection to "DESC" and sortRoot to "nuut". However, I am not sure how to cope with the 2nd field with Designer.

I figured out how to do it... add sorters from the toolbox and do not get distracted by the rest.

Thanks!

Glad to see you figured it out!

Could you please give me your sample to to sort the store? I meet same question. Help me! I set store like below code, it is not working. I am using extjs 3.X

var store = new Ext.data.JsonStore({
totalProperty: "results",
url: 'department.aspx?action=read',
root: 'records', remoteSort: true,
fields: ['id', 'department', 'description',
'department',
'division',
'divisionid',
'active'],
sorters: [{
property: 'divisionid',
direction: 'DESC'
},{
property: 'department',
direction: 'ASC'
}]
});

Thanks,
