When the Grid is set initially with a sort operation, the icon for the column will show twice in a UI for ASP.NET MVC web application.
Using the Kendo UI Grid template, add the sorting configuration to the dataSource:
@(Html.Kendo().Grid<Kendo.Mvc.Examples.Models.OrderViewModel>()
.Name("grid")
.Columns(columns => {
columns.Bound(p => p.OrderID).Filterable(false).Width(200);
columns.Bound(p => p.Freight).Width(100);
columns.Bound(p => p.OrderDate).Format("{0:MM/dd/yyyy}").Width(140);
columns.Bound(p => p.ShipName);
columns.Bound(p => p.ShipCity).Width(150);
})
.Pageable()
.Sortable()
.Scrollable()
.Filterable()
.HtmlAttributes(new { style = "height:430px;" })
.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
.Ajax()
.PageSize(20)
.Read(read => read.Action("Orders_Read", "Grid"))
.Sort(s => s.Add("OrderID").Descending())) //Added Predefined Sort
)
The icon should only appear once for the sorted column.
