In the slickgrid I\'m able to set the sort column and it\'s sort direction using the grid.SetSortColumn(colName,true/false). This only sets the sorting glyph but do
grid.SetSortColumn(colName,true/false)
I have multiple column sort enabled, I had to change the function to pass the correct sort column.
grid.onSort.subscribe(function(e, args) { gridSorter(**args.sortCols[0].sortCol.field**, **args.sortCols[0].sortAsc**, grid, gridData); });
