sortIndicator in Header not set by setColumnSorting + bug

Getting help Questions
1

Hi,

This question has been raised previously (https://forum2.handsontable.com/t/missing-sortindicator-pro/125) but I don’t think there’s a solution yet.

When sorting using setColumnSorting the sort indicator is not set in the Header
This is really disturbing for the end user.

example here:http://jsfiddle.net/gate61/8o9od8dw/10/

Also, I think there’s a bug: try the following with the fiddle above:

  • run
  • click the button -> column sorted descending on B but no indicator
  • click e.g. header D -> sorted ascending on D and indicator set correctly
  • click button again -> sorted descending on B, but indicator is moved from D to B but stays “ascending” which is not correct !

Maybe it’s a updateSortIndicator problem but I tried with/without without luck.

Is there a workaround or a bug fix expected soon ?

Thanks,

Olivier

Hi @olivier

You’re right. We do not get a sortIndicator while sorting table programmatically. There’s one method from the columnSorting plugin called updateSortIndicator but it doesn’t show it either.

I’ve reported it on our Github board https://github.com/handsontable/handsontable/issues/5034

And here is the issue report for this behavior sortIndicator doesn't update · Issue #5035 · handsontable/handsontable · GitHub

Thank you so much for reporting. I will send you a message as soon as there’s any news on that issues.
