Grid with single column sorting enabled

Ship Country	Freight	Order Date

kendo.syncReady(function(){jQuery("#singleSort").kendoGrid({"columns":[{"title":"Ship Country","headerAttributes":{"data-field":"ShipCountry","data-title":"Ship\u0026#32;Country"},"width":"300px","field":"ShipCountry","encoded":true},{"title":"Freight","headerAttributes":{"data-field":"Freight","data-title":"Freight"},"width":"300px","field":"Freight","encoded":true},{"title":"Order Date","headerAttributes":{"data-field":"OrderDate","data-title":"Order\u0026#32;Date"},"field":"OrderDate","format":"{0:dd/MM/yyyy}","encoded":true}],"pageable":{"buttonCount":5},"sortable":true,"scrollable":false,"dataSource":{"type":(function(){if(kendo.data.transports['aspnetmvc-ajax']){return 'aspnetmvc-ajax';} else{throw new Error('The kendo.aspnetmvc.min.js script is not included.');}})(),"transport":{"read":{"url":"/aspnet-mvc/grid/sorting_orders_read"},"prefix":""},"pageSize":5,"page":1,"groupPaging":false,"total":0,"serverPaging":true,"serverSorting":true,"serverFiltering":true,"serverGrouping":true,"serverAggregates":true,"filter":[],"schema":{"data":"Data","total":"Total","errors":"Errors","model":{"fields":{"OrderID":{"type":"number"},"CustomerID":{"type":"string"},"ContactName":{"type":"string"},"Freight":{"type":"number","defaultValue":null},"ShipAddress":{"type":"string"},"OrderDate":{"type":"date","defaultValue":null},"ShippedDate":{"type":"date","defaultValue":null},"ShipCountry":{"type":"string"},"ShipCity":{"type":"string"},"ShipName":{"type":"string"},"EmployeeID":{"type":"number","defaultValue":null}}}}}});}); Grid with mixed column sorting enabled

To multi-sort the columns, hold the "CTRL" key and click the columns header.

A single-click (without holding the "CTRL" key) on any column un-sorts the currently sorted columns and applies single-sorting to the clicked column.

Description

In this sample you can learn how to enable sorting for the Telerik MVC Grid. Since this functionality is built-in, all you have to do is to set the sorting configuration via the .Sortable()method. The supported sorting modes are single, multiple and mixed, and can be specified through the SortMode method by passing a GridSortMode - SingleColumn, MultipleColumn or Mixed.

Single-column sort:

.Sortable(sortable => sortable.SortMode(GridSortMode.SngleColumn)

Multi-column sort:

.Sortable(sortable => sortable.SortMode(GridSortMode.MultipleColumn)

Mixed-column sort:

.Sortable(sortable => sortable.SortMode(GridSortMode.Mixed)
