Hi, I want to show data on a page and include sorters on the data headings. This was previously done by creating a data source and setting each data queried as sortable. You could then use behaviors attached to an icon to refresh the data set based on a data sort on the particular data.

Server Connect does not provide the ability to set a data field as sortable and does not seem to provide the ability to do this. I worked out how to setup a paged data set but not sortable.

HTML5 data bindings no longer seems to allow you to setup data from a database - the data source option now shows that it is deprecated and to use Server Connect. I tried any way to setup a data source the old way and all seems ok except there is no data on the page and there is no ajax query running to get the data.

Have I just done something wrong with HTML5 data bindings or has Server Connect taken over functions with data sources from databases? How do I create a clickable sorter in that instance?

Ok, I have been able to do this again with html5 data bindings. Threw me with the deprecated statement in the type drop down.
I admit I haven't got my head around the whole server connect thing although it would seem to be better if you could do everything in Server COnnect as you could in HTML5 data bindings (maybe you can - I have been wrong once already)
If there is a way to provide a sorter that refreshes the data with server connect could you please let me know.

Hi Steven,

You can do the same but use Server Action Executor as data source. All database actions are done now with server connect and through the server action executor.

Greetings,
George
