Group Sort not restored after multi-column sort is cleared

[[email protected]]

I am currently using Pro version 8.5.0.

I have found an issue with group sorting not being restored to the original sort order after a multi-column sort is cleared.

I created a JSFiddle to demonstrate the issue using the following steps. https://jsfiddle.net/jhschmidt/bc8hmwo1/

• Run the JSFiddle demo
• Note that the order of the 'Name' column groups and the 'Position' column values are sorted because they are ordered in the JSON data
• Click the 'Letters' column header to sort by the letters column summary which is 'min'
• Observe that the rows are sorted correctly and the group order is now B, D, A, C, E
• Click the 'Digits' column header to sort the digits column summary which is 'min'
• Observe that the rows are sorted correctly and the group order is still B, D, A, C, E
• Click the 'Digits' column header two more times to remove the sort
• Observe that the rows did not return to the original letters sort order
• Click the 'Letters' column header two more times to remove the sort
• Observe that the rows did not return to the original sort order of the name groups and position values

Note: When the group is removed this sorting test works correctly.

I did some debugging and found that after Step 9. the internal pq_order sort is applied which the onCustomSortTree function uses. The group title rows do not have a pq_order property so the groups do not sort.

I hope this helps you track down this issue.

Thanks,
Jim

This has been fixed in upcoming v8.6.0

I tested the 8.6.0 version and the original sort order is returned after performing this test with nested JSON data. Thanks for the fix!
