Options in columnSelector sorted
« on: September 15, 2017, 01:19:18 pm »
Would it be possible to have the options in the columnSelector sorted instead of using the colModel order?

Since options is javascript array, native array sort method can be used to sort it.

//if options is array of strings.
options.sort();

//if options is array of objects
Code: [Select]
options.sort( function( obj1, obj2 ){
  return obj1[ prop ] - obj2 [ prop ];
})

Seems to be array of objects:

Code: [Select]
options: function(ui) {
        //options in the select list correspond to all columns.
        return this.getColModel().map(function(column) {
          var obj = {};
          obj[column.dataIndx] = column.title;
          return obj;
        });
      },

But where do I execute the sort method?

options: function (ui) {

//options in the select list correspond to all columns.
return this.getColModel().map(function(column){
var obj = {};
obj[ column.dataIndx ] = column.title;
return obj;
}).sort(function(col1, col2){
var val1 = col1[ Object.keys(col1)[0] ],
val2 = col2[ Object.keys(col2)[0] ];
return val1.localeCompare(val2);
});
},
