You can specify the sort order using the orderby parameter. But, I don't know how you get it to sort by the displayed value of a foreign key column.

Ex:

orderby = [~db.asset.acquiredOn, db.asset.assetTag, db.asset.description]

~ orders descending.

Two questions re SQLFORM.grid sorting.

1. Is it possible to specify the initial sort order?

2. I'm displaying a table that includes a foreign field. When I click on
the header to sort by that field, it sorts by the field id rather than by
the (displayed) foreign field. Can I sort by the displayed field?

Thanks,
Keith
