setFlatSort(flatSort: Array)

[starting from version: 2.8.2]

Sets the flat table multi-column sorting.

Note that the setFlatSort method is available only for reports based on "csv", "json", and "api" data source types.

Parameters

Array of objects defining the sorting on the flat grid. Each object has the following properties:

• uniqueName – String. The unique name of the hierarchy being sorted.
• sort – String. The sorting type ("asc", "desc", or "undefined").

Note: the hierarchies are sorted in the order they were specified (i.e., the first hierarchy is sorted first, and so on). Therefore, take the element’s order into account when defining the flat table multi-column sorting. See the example on JSFiddle.

Example

var sort = [ 
  {
      uniqueName: "Category",
      sort: "desc"
  },
  {
      uniqueName: "Price",
      sort: "asc"
  }
];
flexmonster.setFlatSort(sort); 

Try the example on JSFiddle.
