Answer 2

A:

For the record, in dojo 1.5 it's the 'sortInfo' param passed to the Data Grid. It uses the same convention as the 'canSort' function, i.e. a number indicating the column (starting at 1) and the sign indicating the direction of sort.

I added a comment to http://docs.dojocampus.org/dojox/grid/DataGrid to this effect.

For example, this grid is sorted by the 'created' column in 'most recent first' order:

<table dojoType="dojox.grid.DataGrid" clientSort="true" selectionMode="single"
   formatterScope="formatterScope" dojoAttachPoint="logGrid" sortInfo="-2">
   <thead><tr>
    <th field="clientId" width="10%">Client ID</th>
    <th field="created" width="20%" formatter="datefmt">Created</th>
    <th field="message" width="30%" formatter="messagebodyfmt">Message</th>
    <th field="token" width="10%">Token</th>
    <th field="type" width="20%">Type</th>
    <th field="username" width="10%">Username</th>
   </tr>
</table>

Of course your choice of store and the way it understands the sort directives will have further impact, for example I'm using JsonQueryRestStore and the sortInfo param results in the store query including sort syntax based on dojox.data.JsonQuery and the backend handling the query must understand how to sort the data before returning it.
