Vue Data GridSSRM Sorting
Enterprise
This section covers Server-Side Sorting using the Server-Side Row Model.
Sorting
Sorting is enabled by default in the grid and controlled via the sortable
column definition attribute.
<ag-grid-vue
:columnDefs="columnDefs"
/* other grid options ... */>
</ag-grid-vue>
this.columnDefs = [
{ field: 'country'},
// Disable sorting by sport
{ field: 'sport', sortable: false },
];
For more details on sorting configurations see the section on Row Sorting.
Server-side Sorting
The actual sorting of rows is performed on the server when using the Server-Side Row Model. When a sort is applied in the
grid a request is made for more rows via getRows(params)
on the Server-Side Datasource.
The request object sent to the server contains sort metadata in the sortModel
property, an example is shown below:
// Example request with sorting info
{
sortModel: [
{ colId: 'country', sort: 'asc' },
{ colId: 'year', sort: 'desc' },
]
}
Notice in the snippet above that the sortModel
contains an array of models for each column that has active sorts in
the grid. The column ID and sort type can then be used by the server to perform the actual sorting.
The example below demonstrates sorting using the SSRM. Note the following:
- The server uses the metadata contained in the
sortModel
to sort the rows. - Open the browser's dev console to view the
sortModel
supplied in the request to the datasource. - Try single / multi-column (using ⇧ Shift key) sorting by clicking on column headers.
