Last Updated : 29 Mar, 2023

jQWidgets is a JavaScript framework for making web-based applications for PC and mobile devices. It is a very powerful, optimized, platform-independent, and widely supported framework. The jqxGrid is used to illustrate a jQuery widget that shows data in tabular form. Moreover, it renders full support for connecting with data, as well as paging, grouping, sorting, filtering, and editing.

The showsortmenuitems property is used to decide to display the items of the menu of the sort. It is of Boolean type and the default value is “true”.

Syntax:

Set the showsortmenuitems property:

$('Selector').jqxGrid({ showsortmenuitems: false });

Return the showsortmenuitems property:

var showsortmenuitems = $('Selector').jqxGrid('showsortmenuitems');
