Grid Sorting Using JAVAScript

[alance]

Grid contains 25 columns and 15 rows.So i have implemented sorting using javascript.
Column 2 contains names of customers.How to sort them alphabetically and incorporate in the given function?
The following function sorts only floating numbers.

function sortGrid(colId,sortAscending){
    try{
        var sortCol = parseInt(colId);
        if(sortCol == 2){
             // alert('col id less than 3');
              return false;
        }
        var rowCount = this.rowId.length;
        for(var rowI=0;rowI<rowCount-1;rowI++){
            for(var rowJ=rowI+1;rowJ<rowCount;rowJ++){
                var datI, datJ;
                try{
                    datI = parseFloat(this.rowData[rowI][sortCol]);
                    if(isNaN(datI)){
                        datI = 0;
                    }
                }catch(e){
                    datI = 0;
                }try{
                    datJ = parseFloat(this.rowData[rowJ][sortCol]);
                    if(isNaN(datJ)){
                        datJ = 0;
                    }
                }catch(e){
                    datJ = 0;
                }
                
                if(datI > datJ){
                    if(sortAscending) this.swapArrayRows(rowI,rowJ);
                }else if(datI < datJ){
                    if(!sortAscending) this.swapArrayRows(rowI,rowJ);
                }
            }
        }
        return true;
    }catch(er){
       // alert('Error occured in sorting array :-: '+er);
        return false;
    }
}

What kind of grid are you using?

[Amahdy]

u don't need to change anything in ur code since the "<" and ">" operators in JS works too for strings and chars ... just remove the "parseFloat()" instead use a direct assignment...

[alance]

I applied direct assignment but still the sorting of customer names not working

Are you getting any errors or is it just not working?

[alance]
