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)
• fieldInfo= 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 6 and later) 
  • Some of the properties in the field info are:
    • dataType - the field data type
    • dataLength - data length (only present if the field is a character or a numeric field)
    • formatting - field formatting
• multiFields= When a multiple-column sort runs, this is an array of information about each column included in the sort. The first preferred sort column is the first entry in the array; the second preferred column is second; etc. This argument is undefined when the sort is for a single column. (Available in Version 6, Fix Packs later than 2.1)
  
  • Properties of each object are the same as described above:
    • fieldName
    • fieldFormat
    • fieldDateFormat
    • value1
    • value2

Example:

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

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