Unfortunately, I think sort will not be in the UI in the near future, as it is something that would need API/backend support. I experimented with sorting using pure JS, though once the table listing goes > 50 rows, the browser slows down considerably.
But yes -- full docs will be provided for the widget implementation, once it is complete :) Brian On 9/14/12 7:57 AM, "Pranav Saxena" <pranav.sax...@citrix.com> wrote: >Hi Mice, > >I have been working very closely with Brian .
