Notes: This plugin adds multiple remote sorting to the extjs grid by allowing for the selection of multiple columns.

Instructions: In your extjs grid please include the plugin with any default columns named in the following manner.

Ext.create('Ext.ux.InlineRemoteMultiSort', { defaultSorters: [ {property:'col1', direction:'ASC'}, {property:'col2', direction:'ASC'}, {property:'col3', direction:'ASC'} // .... ] })

Please place the file in the extjs/src/ux/ folder, and place the CSS file in the extjs/src/ux/css folder.

Output: The sort parameters will be sent as follows: sort:[{'item':'col1','direction:'ASC'},{'item':'col2','direction:'ASC'},{'item':'col3','direction:'ASC'}]

Remember that the code will pass a set of empty brackets if there are no sorters present, please handle this on the server side.

TODO : Numbered images to show the user the sort order would be a great addition.
