  Hi

  If I hold down ctrl and click on a column header it won’t sort. If I understand it correctly this is because ctrl+click should clear the sorting. Is there a way to overwrite this behaviour? I’m subscribed to (sortingColumn) but no event fires if you ctrl+click.

  I have already tried extending the flexgrid class but that leads to a lot of other problems. Could you make an example on how to only overwrite a single method in a subclass?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Hi,
  
  Currently, ctrl + click do nothing on column header click. You may override the sorting behavior on mousedown event for FlexGrid hostElement. Please refer to the following code snippet for the same:

  flex.hostElement.addEventListener("mousedown",function(e){
  	if(e.ctrlKey){
  		/*clear sorting on ctrl+key*/
  		cvData.sortDescriptions.clear();	
  	}
  },true);
  

  Hope it helps!
