Server side filtering and sorting

[msuntharesan]

Is there a way to achieve this? I'm thinking the getRows function in the datasource can be extended to include the filter and sorting parameters

yes that's right, my plan is to do exactly that. there is a chunk of coding i need to get it in, but it's on my list.

Is there any known work-around for this currently?

[ceolter]

only way currently is to implement this outside of the grid. when a new sort or filter is applied, then call onNewDatasource (you don't have to provide a new one, just pretend to the grid that it has changed). The datasource should then refer to the external sort / filter that was selected.
