EJ2 Grid: Sorting not working after the 2nd query

[Support Arcania]

Hi,

We have an ASP.NET MVC application with EJ2.

There's a bug on our EJ2 Grid if we sort the same column 3 times consecutively (eg. ASC then DESC then ASC again).

- when we click the 1st time on the column header we have this in the request body

{

requiresCounts: true,

skip: 0,

sorted: [{

               name: "OurSortableColumn",

       direction: "ascending"

}],

take: 25

}

- we get the same data during the 2nd query

- the problem appears when we click the 3rd time on the same column, we don't have the "sorted" property anymore and it generates a bug on our back-end service.

{

requiresCounts: true,

skip: 0,

take: 25

}

Please note that there's no problem if we click on different columns consecutively.

What might cause this problem?

Thanks

Hi Arcania, 

 

Greetings From Syncfusion Support. 

 

Based on your query that you do not have sorted property when you click on the third time on the same column.  

 

By default, the sorting order will be as ascending -> descending -> none. When first click a column header it sorts the column in ascending. Again click the same column header, it will sort the column in descending. A repetitive third click on the same column header will clear the sorting. So, it does not send any information about sorting to the server. It was the default behavior of our Grid. 

 

Please share the exact requirement based on sorting, so we will provide solution based on that.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

We didn't know this information.

We've added a default column and sort direction in our back-end service as a workaround.

Thanks
