SQLFORM.grid always show column sorter arrows

[Jim S]

I have a requirement from a client to ALWAYS show the sorter arrows on the sort column in SQLFORM.grid.  Anyone have a good way to turn that on globally?

do you mean that you need in all headers the up/down arrows shown ?

[Jim Steil]

Yes, just for the active sort.

Well that answer was confusing.  Rereading Niphlod's question I should have responded:

No, not for all the column headers, just for the one's included in the initial orderby on the SQLFORM.grid call.

ok, then I guess it's doable. Would you please open a ticket to get the feature request tracked ? I can do it in the evening.

PS: until then another way is just to link the grid with the correct var parameter

Submitted.  Issue 1626.

Just got back to looking at this and though the ticket is closed with a status of FIXED, it doesn't display the sorter icon when you first display the .grid.  Also, line 2212 of sqlhtml.py has a print statement that is putting messages to my console.

Found my issue. I am supplying a list to the orderby parameter. If I supply only 1 field then it works. Is it possible to check if it is a list and if so, turn on the sorter icon for just the first field in the list?
