Hello, I want to sort my CGridView results by name (not id). Unfortunately, when I change the model’s search function to include
$criteria->order = "name DESC";
when I try to sort the grid by clicking the name attribute, it doesn’t do anything and I can only sort the other attributes. Makes sense since it keeps returning the same dataprovider with that name sort. Anyways, I was just wondering what the cleanest/easiest way is to be able to sort all columns in the grid while still having the initial sort be by name instead of id? Thanks.
As maschingan, but defined in the search method within the model (I believe the data provider adds the sort upon your already defined criteria, so it doesn’t overwrite it):
public function search()
{
$criteria = new CDbCriteria;
...
return new CActiveDataProvider('YourModel', array(
'criteria' => $criteria,
'sort' => array(
'defaultOrder' => 'name DESC',
),
));
}
