DhtmlxGrid How to select a value for sorting?

I have been playing around with filtering and sorting in dhtmlxGrid ( https://dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxGrid/samples/08_filtering/01_pro_filter.html ) and my question is: can we sort the column with employee names by name without changing the way they are written?

For example:

We have:

  • Alex Calson

  • David Edmond

  • James Yarwood

And after sorting, we want to have the names in the following order:

  • James Yarwood

  • Alex Calson

  • David Edmond

Is it possible?

The best way to achieve the functionality you want is to create a custom sort function that will sort the column with only the second part of the value. You can find a tutorial here:

and a simple working example:
