How do you show the column sort direction when I load the grid for the first time. I have a column that is showing data that is date descending and would like to give the user a visual of the "EglRuiDataGridSortDown" ticker next to the text when I load the grid. I'm using RBD 9.1.1 and the DataGrid widget.

Thanks,

Let me add to this...I have added this code to my DataGrid behavior but the indicator is not being set when the data loads.

function ticketsDataGrid_format(grid DataGrid in, td Widget in, row any in, rowNumber int in, column DataGridColumn in)                 orderHeader ViewOrderHeader = ticketsDataGrid.data[rowNumber] as ViewOrderHeader;                                case (column.name)                        when ("weekEndingDate")                                column.sortDirection = DataGridLib.SORT_DOWN;                                weDate date = dateTimeHelper.convertDecimalToDate(orderHeader.weekEndingDate);                                td.innerHTML = weDate;                  end                       end

Hi Gadberry,

After adding a sortdirection to a column you should re-render the grid.

However, when you would attempt to re-render the grid in a behavior function you will find yourself in an endless loop (re-rendering will ultimately result in executing the behaviors.....),

so.....try to set the sortdirection to the column you want to be sorted before setting the datagrid's data, or do a re-render of the DataGrid.
