Grid Sort Function

The variable pui.gridSort can be used to customize the client side grid column sort by defining a sort function.

The following parameters are passed to this function:

• value1 = first field value to compare.
• value2 = second field value to compare.
• fieldName = name of the field that the grid is sorted by. (Available in Version 5, Fix Pack 6.0 and later)
• isDescending = true if sorting in descending sequence, false otherwise. (Available in Version 5, Fix Pack 6.0 and later) 
• fieldDateFormat = date format of the field that the grid is sorted by, if the field is not a date null will be passed instead. (Available in Version 5, Fix Pack 14.0 and later)
• fieldFormat = formatting information of the field that the grid is sorted by, if the field does not contain any formatting information, a blank object will be passed instead. (Available in Version 5, Fix Pack 14.1 and later) 

Example:

pui.gridSort = function(value1, value2, fieldName, isDescending, fieldDateFormat, fieldFormat) {
 if (value1 > value2) return -1;
 else return 1;
}

This function could be used to control the order numerals and characters are sorted.
