To disable sorting completely in JqGrid we should set “sortable:false” property for every column in colmodel.
Disable Sorting in JqGrid
So if we have 3 columns, then we should set “sortable:false” for all 3 columns.
colmodel: [
{ name: ‘ProductName’, sortable: false },
{ name: ‘ProductPrice’, sortable: false },
{ name: ‘ProductQuantity’, sortable: false }
]
If we want to enable sorting only on 1 field, then we will remove “sortable:false” property from that column and keep it for rest of the columns.
colmodel: [
{ name: ‘ProductName’}, //sorting is enabled on this column
{ name: ‘ProductPrice’, sortable: false },
{ name: ‘ProductQuantity’, sortable: false }
],
