disable user sort but enable coded multi sort

[levi]

Hi,

I'm seeing something strange:

grid.setCanSort(true);
SortSpecifier specifier1 = new SortSpecifier(F1, SortDirection.ASCENDING);
SortSpecifier specifier2 = new SortSpecifier(F2, SortDirection.ASCENDING);
grid.setSort(new SortSpecifier[]{specifier1, specifier2});

=> shows the sort number & direction arrow in the grid columns and sorts the 2 columns (OK)


Now I don't want users to mess with the sort, so I disable it:

grid.setCanSort(false);
SortSpecifier specifier1 = new SortSpecifier(F1, SortDirection.ASCENDING);
SortSpecifier specifier2 = new SortSpecifier(F2, SortDirection.ASCENDING);
grid.setSort(new SortSpecifier[]{specifier1, specifier2});

=> shows the sort number, but no direction arrow (any reason for that? NOK), and the sorting is actually NOK on the 2nd column. Changing it into DESCENDING, doesn't do a thing either.
So I'm guessing a multi sort isn't going OK when setCanSort is false?

Also tried with

grid.setCanSort(false);
grid.setCanMultiSort(true);

but that gives the same bad result.


thx,

For now we'd recommend leaving 'canSort' set to true and disabling user-initiated sort by cancelling the headerClick handler.

We've assigned a developer to take a look at this and determine whether we need a framework change to handle this more neatly.
