Description

How can I sort the events in the Scheduler agenda view in a descending order?

Solution

Extend the Agenda view of the Scheduler and implement a custom render function to require the events in a descending order.

<div id="scheduler"></div>

<script>
    var CustomAgenda = kendo.ui.AgendaView.extend({
        _renderLayout: function(date) {
            this._startDate = kendo.date.addDays(date, -5);
            this._endDate = date;
            this.createLayout(this._layout());
            this.table.addClass("k-scheduler-agenda");
        },
        nextDate: function() {
            return kendo.date.previousDay(this.startDate());
        },
        previousDate: function() {
            return kendo.date.nextDay(this.startDate());
        },
        render: function(events) {
            var table = this.content.find("table").empty();
            var groups = [];
            var flattenGroup = function (groups) {
                var items = [].concat(groups),
                    item = items.shift(),
                    result = [],
                    push = [].push;
                while (item) {
                    if (item.groups) {
                        push.apply(items, item.groups);
                    } else if (item.items) {
                        push.apply(items, item.items);
                    } else {
                        push.call(result, item);
                    }

                    item = items.shift();
                }

                return result;
            }

            var flattenTaskGroups = function (groups) {
                var idx = 0,
                    length = groups.length,
                    item,
                    result = [];

                for ( ; idx < length; idx ++) {
                    item = groups[idx];
                    if (item.groups) {
                        item = flattenGroup(item.groups);
                        result = result.concat(item);
                    } else {
                        result = result.concat(flattenGroup(item.items));
                    }
                }

                return result;
            }

            if (events.length > 0) {
                var resources = this.groupedResources;

                if (resources.length) {
                    groups = this._createGroupConfiguration(events, resources, null);
                    this._groupsByDate = [];
                    this._renderGroups(groups, table, []);
                    this._groupedView._renderDates(table);
                } else {
                    groups = this._tasks(events).reverse();
                    table.append(this._renderTaskGroups(groups, []));
                }
            }

            var items = this._eventsList = flattenTaskGroups(groups);
            this._angularItems(table, items);

            this.refreshLayout();
            this.trigger("activate");
        }
    });
