Having custom sorting on the grid is really handy. But with its current implementation, we are not capable of setting this sorting logic on load. I opened a support ticket for this issue (see below), and now I'm considering extending this behaviour myself, if I can manage the time that is. http://www.telerik.com/account/support-tickets/view-ticket.aspx?threadid=931220 However, it would be so much better if this was supported out of the box http://dojo.telerik.com/IFoYA/2
Hi,
The functionality is available out of the box by passing the sort compare handler to the sort method. Here is a dojo illustrating the approach.
