Hi Jason,
Thanks for the reply and the suggestion.
However I don't think this deals with the ascending and descending sort
cases does it? I changed your example slightly so that
if (obj1.summaryRow)
return 1
else if (obj2.summaryRow)
return -1
i.e. the signs are reversed. So now when you do the initial sort the summary
row stays as the last row. However if the user sorts that column again then
the sort order is reversed, and the summary row moves to the first row. Am I
missing a simple way to resolve this?
Thanks again,
Dan.
