HOW TO jqGrid common solutions

Allow FireFox to work with RTL (Right To Left) languages

jqGrid support fully FireFox versions 3.x and Internet Explorer versions >=6. The default settings in FireFox are not compatible with RTL. In order to change this:

In the url bar in FireFox type about:config and confirm the alert dialog.
In the Find bar type layout.scrollbar.side
Double click on it and change the value from 0 to 1

Configuring jqGrid to use only the new API

This should be done in the installation procedure following these steps:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>My First Grid</title>
 
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="css/ui-lightness/jquery-ui-1.7.1.custom.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="css/ui.jqgrid.css" />
 
<script src="js/jquery-1.3.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="js/i18n/grid.locale-en.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
	jQuery.jgrid.no_legacy_api = true;
</script>
<script src="js/jquery.jqGrid.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
 
</head>
<body>
...
</body>
</html>

Note the callling of

<script type="text/javascript">
	jQuery.jgrid.no_legacy_api = true;
</script>

This line should be after the language file and before the jqGrid JS file

Replace the jqGrid eval with JSON.parse when we use JSON response

jqGrid provide a flexible solution for this.

<script type="text/javascript">
   jQuery.extend(jQuery.jgrid,{
      parse:function(jsstring) {
         return JSON.parse(jsstring);
      }
   });
</script>
 
</head>
<body>
...
</body>
</html>

Hi, i'm new in jqgrid. I've tried client side sorting with server side paging. While the server-side paging worked fine, the sorting didn't. When i try to sort the data disappears. Any ideas?
