Sorting

JSS provides a great deal of flexibility and control when it comes to sorting, enabling the developer to:

Create a sorting handler method to customize the JavaScript sorting behavior.
Use the onbeforesorting event to intercept, change, or cancel the sorting results for the user.

You can sort the data grid using the context menu, double-clicking the column header, or invoking the orderBy method.

Documentation

Methods

The developer can call the spreadsheet sorting programmatically using the following methods.

Method	Description
orderBy	Sort the data grid. @param {number} columnNumber - Sort by column number @param {boolean} direction: false (asc), true (desc) `orderBy(columnNumber: Number, direction: Boolean) : void`

Events

The onbeforesort can be used to intercept, change or cancel the order results.

Event	Description
onbeforesort	`onbeforesort(worksheet: Object, column: Number, direction: Number, newValue: Array) : Array`
onsort	`onsort(worksheet: Object, column: Number, direction: Number, newValue: Array) : void`

Initial Settings

The following property helps to define the sorting behavior.

Property	Description
sorting: function	Define a custom sorting handler. `sorting(direction: Boolean) : function`
columnSorting: bool	Allow the user to sort the spreadsheet by columns. `Default: true`

Native sorting handler

The following code is the default sorting method. You can customize the function to create different sorting results.
