I am overriding the default sort functionality of the DataGrid so I can call a
webservice to supply the data subset from the data superset stored on the
server.

I am using the headerRelease event to make preventDefault() functionality and
make a call to the webservice with new sort order. The service call then
returns 20 records out of the larger recordset to be bound to the DataGrid. I
have the call happening and the data returning but I loose the sort arrow.

Can anyone suggest how to solve this issue?

I did try to extend the DataGrid but can't get a reference in the extended
object to the send method on the HTTPService to get the data.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
CJ
