ExtJS setting a default sort on a remote sort store?

Question

Is there a way in ExtJS 4.1.3 to set a default sort on a Grid with a backing store set to remoteSort: true?

Answer 1

I missed the sorters config in documentation, the default sort can be set by

sorters: [ {
    property: 'valuetosort',
    direction: 'ASC'
} ],

Answer 2

Also, if you want to set sorters dynamicaly and remoteSort is true, then you can use method sort and pass sorters configuration into single parameter.

store.sort([{
    property: 'valuetosort',
    direction: 'ASC'
}])
