SlickGrid cell styling lost on Sort

When sorting the rows in SlickGrid, it seems that they are all destroyed and recreated, thus losing the CSS classes that may have been added at run-time.

For example, I want rows that are "dirty" (that is, have been edited but not yet saved)((I don't auto-commit, but use a Save button on the grid to persist data)) to display diff开发者_开发知识库erently, specifically displaying a "dirty" icon.

So, when a row is "dirty", one of its cells (an icon column) gains a CSS class to display the proper icon. This however is then lost when rows are sorted. Is there a way to avoid the creation of brand new rows on a sort? Or a different method to accomplish this task?

Thanks!

SlickGrid explicitly forbids direct manipulation of the DOM elements it creates with the exception of editors. If you need to decorate a cell/row with a CSS class, do so using the APIs provided by SlickGrid (custom formatters, row/cell metadata, addCellCssStyles, etc.). That way, they will persist across re-renders.
