Not able to sort the dhtmlxgrid column by clicking column headers for string columns. It works fine for integer columns but not working fine for string columns.

And also when we do custom sorting for string columns also not working.

below is the code for sorting the dhtmlxgrid columns:

mygrid.sortRows(colNum, “str”, “asc”);

Hello.
In your provided demo I can only the “my_demo.sln”, which have no any useful information about your sample.
Please, provide with a complete demo, where the problem can be reproduced.

NOTE: almost all inbuilt sorting types sort the column by the values of the cells. You can check the value of your cell calling the getVaue() method:
mygrid.cellById(row_id,col_ind).getValue()

Unfortunately each browser parse the html-content in a different way.
In your situtation it is recommended to create your own custom sorting type for such complex values.
