Sorting issue after refresh


Hi,



After sorting the DhtmlxGrid by clicking on one of the headers, and clicks on one of the button in the grid, where i am doing a database update, the page refreshes back to unsorted.



The button click is like this



function gridButtonClicked(target,argument )

{

__doPostBack(’’+target,’’+argument);

}



this is how i am setting the button



WriteSearchResultsCell(writer, “<img src=”…/images/icn_lock.gif" style=“cursor:hand; border:0px;” alt="" + objCheckoutUser.FirstName + " " + objCheckoutUser.LastName + " Checked out at " + objRequest.CheckoutTime.ToString() + “” onclick = “gridButtonClicked(‘Lock#Edit’ ,’” + objRequest.RequestID + “’)” />", true);



I want the DhtmlxGrid should remain sorted after the page refreshes .Please help me.



Thank you in advance.

What grid version do use ?

The professional version provides API to do it:

    grid.saveSortingToCookie(); 
    grid.loadSortingFromCookie();

In case of standard version you can use getSortingState method. It returns the array  where first element is column index  and the second - state.

    var sorting_array = grid.getSortingState();

And after getting these value from cookie you can  do  following:
 
    grid.sortRows(column_index,null,state);

    grid.setSortImgState(true,column_index,state);
