Hi, continuing to evaluate the new sortByGroupFirst feature and see another issue.
Load this example:
http://www.smartclient.com/#customColumns
Use the code below that sorts by population descending and turns on sortByGroupFirst with groupSortDirection of 'ascending'
Steps
1. Show Formula Builder
2. Add formula: record.continent=='Asia'?2:1 and save
3. Group by new Formula column
4. The grid should sort by the new grouped formula column in ascending order. But it doesn't and shows the 2 group first.
