ListGrid SortSpecifier

SmartClient Version: v9.1p_2014-06-04/Pro Deployment (built 2014-06-04)

Is there a way to change the ListGrid SortSpecifier(s) and corresponding indicators in the ListGrid column headers without causing a client-side sort?

For example, if I am populating a ListGrid using a ResultSet as follows:

 Record[] recordList = response.getData();
 int length = (recordList == null) ? 0 : recordList.length;
 ResultSet resultSet = new ResultSet(dataSource);
 resultSet.setInitialLength(length);
 resultSet.setInitialSort(someNewSortSpecifiers);
 resultSet.setInitialData(recordList);
 resultSet.setCriteria(criteria);
 resultSet.setAllRows(recordList);
 listGrid.setData(resultSet);

My assumption was that by setting "resultSet.setInitialSort(someNewSortSpecifiers);", when listGrid.setData() is called, the ListGrid SortSpecifier(s) and corresponding indicators would reflect the sortBy value, however, this does not seem to be the case. I don't believe this even updates the listGrid.getSort() value.

Can you clarify this? Are you trying to make the sort indicators not actually reflect the current sort?

As far as setting a sort direction on the ResultSet, this should work so long as you do not have parallel and conflicting settings on the grid.

I have a list grid with some initial sort specified, and the grid data is updated by calling listGrid.setData(...) with a new ResultSet. That ResultSet has an initial sort that could differ from the list grid initial sort/current sort. Furthermore, setAllRows is set on the ResultSet.

 Record[] recordList = response.getData();
 int length = (recordList == null) ? 0 : recordList.length;
 ResultSet resultSet = new ResultSet(dataSource);
 resultSet.setInitialLength(length);
 [B]resultSet.setInitialSort(someNewSortSpecifiers);[/B]
 resultSet.setInitialData(recordList);
 resultSet.setCriteria(criteria);
 [B]resultSet.setAllRows(recordList);[/B]

Under this scenario, my expectation was that the list grid sort would be updated based on the ResultSet initial sort when calling listGrid.setData(ResultSet) and that I would see the column header sort indicators as specified by someNewSortSpecifiers.

Are my expectations valid?

Thanks

That does seem like a reasonable thing for the grid to do for this special case of an already-populated ResultSet with a sort direction on it, and we'll look at adding that kind of auto-detection.

In the meantime, a simple approach to get the same effect without any network fetches:

1. set data to an empty RecordList
2. change sort direction on grid to match ResultSet you are about to provide
3. provide ResultSet via setData()

Thank you,
I will experiment with the workaround.
