jQWidgets is a JavaScript framework for making web-based applications for PC and mobile devices. It is a very powerful, optimized, platform-independent, and widely supported framework. The jqxGrid is used to illustrate a jQuery widget that shows data in tabular form. Moreover, it renders full support for connecting with data, as well as paging, grouping, sorting, filtering, and editing.

The sort Event is activated whenever the displayed jqxGrid is sorted.

Syntax:

$("#Selector").on("sort", function (event) {
    // Arguments of the event
    var args = event.args;
   
    // Information of the sorting
    var sortInfo = event.args.sortinformation;
   
    // Direction of the sorting
    var sortdirection = 
      sortInfo.sortdirection.ascending ? 
      "ascending" : "descending";
   
    // Data field of the column
    var sortColumnDataField = sortInfo.sortcolumn;
});
