How to sort data in a PrimeNG DataTable with Row Grouping

Question

What I want to do is to sort the data already grouped in alphabetical order or custom order. I used the sortField attribute which specify the groupheader order but I need to order the data inside the group too.

Answer 1

I have the same issues. I have added customized sort to solve this issues

To add a customized sort

<p-column   field="color" header="color"  sortable="custom" (sortFunction)="sortByColor($event)"></p-column>

In the typescript create a customSort

sortByColor(e) {
    this.cars.sort(function (a, b) {
      let aGroup = a.name.toLowerCase();
      let bGroup = b.name.toLowerCase();
      if (aGroup > bGroup) return 1;
      if (aGroup < bGroup) return -1;
      let aSort = a.color.toLowerCase();
      let bSort = b.color.toLowerCase();
      if (aSort > bSort) return 1;
      if (aSort < bSort) return -1;
      return 0
    });
  }
