Sorting

Sorting on the client side is really easy, you simply need to enable sortable (if not provided, it is considered as disabled) on each columns you want to sort and it will sort as a type string. Oh but wait, sorting as string might not always be ideal, what if we want to sort by number or by date? The answer is to simply pass a type as shown below.

Usage

To use any of them, you need to import FieldType from Angular-Slickgrid as shown below. Also please note that FieldType.string is the default and you don't necessarily need to define it, though you could if you wish to see it in your column definition.

import { FieldType } from 'angular-slickgrid';

export class GridBasicComponent implements OnInit {
  columnDefinitions: Column[];
  gridOptions: GridOption;
  dataset: any[];

  ngOnInit(): void {
    this.columnDefinitions = [
      { id: 'title', name: 'Title', field: 'title', sortable: true },
      { id: 'duration', name: 'Duration (days)', field: 'duration', sortable: true, type: FieldType.number },
      { id: '%', name: '% Complete', field: 'percentComplete', sortable: true, type: FieldType.float},
      { id: 'start', name: 'Start', field: 'start', sortable: true, type: FieldType.dateIso },
      { id: 'finish', name: 'Finish', field: 'finish', sortable: true, type: FieldType.dateIso },
      { id: 'effort-driven', name: 'Effort Driven', field: 'effortDriven', sortable: true }
    ];
  }
}
