jqGrid - make all columns not sortable?

Is there a way to make all columns 开发者_Python百科on a grid NOT sortable other than adding sortable:false to each column? I know you can set global options at the grid level but didn't know if you could do it at the colModel level.

You can use colmodel template to achieve this

cmTemplate: {sortable:false}

There are no global setting in jqGrid which corresponds to the sortable:false from the colModel. Moreover jqGrid read directly the value of colModel without usage some default setting per every column element. So you have to define sortable:false in every column explicitly.

On the other side you can do following:

// we define simplified column model without repeating of the same information
var cm = [
    {name:'id', key: true},
    {name:'name'},
    // ...
];
// new we define "our standard" properties which will be the same in all columns
var myStdModel = {width: 150, sortable: false};

// we extend (or overwrite) "our standard" properties
for (var i=0; i<cm.length; i++) {
    $.extend(cm, myStdModel);
    cm.index = cm.name;
}

$("#list").jqGrid ({
    colModel: cm, // we use the column model built before
    // all other settings
});

In the way you can probably archive the same results which you want, but in the other way.
