sortable Boolean|Object (default: false)

If set to true the user could sort the grid by clicking the column header cells. By default sorting is disabled.

Can be set to a JavaScript object which represents the sorting configuration.

Example - enable sorting

<div id="grid"></div>
<script>
$("#grid").kendoGrid({
  columns: [
    { field: "name" },
    { field: "age" }
  ],
  dataSource: [
    { name: "Jane Doe", age: 30 },
    { name: "John Doe", age: 33 }
  ],
  sortable: true
});
</script>
