DGRID not sorting

Question

I have a dojo dgrid with an assigned dstore/Memory store

_instance = new Memory({
    data: {
        identifier:'monthNumeric', 
        items: []
        }
    });

When I click on the header of the grid, I see the sort arrow change, but no changes to contents in grid.

I traced through the code, ans see it build a sort object. Then it calls this code from _StoreMixins.js

_applySort: function () {
        if (this.collection) {
            this.set('collection', this.collection);
        }
        else if (this.store) {
            console.debug('_StoreMixin found store property but not collection; ' +
                'this is often the sign of a mistake during migration from 0.3 to 0.4');
        }
    },

the setting of the collection seems to create a sort function, but it does not actually execute it.

How is this supposed to work?

(I don't know if it matters, but the same store is also being used with a Dojo chart, wrapped in a DStoreAdapter. But that is not how it is being used here)

There are examples on dgrid.io that demonstrate sort working (including the feature grid right on the front page). Can you provide a runnable example demonstrating where it doesn't? — Ken Franqueiro

dgrid 1.1.0 added a check for _started around the refresh in setCollection

Since I never did a startup on the grid, this was not set. Once I caled startup, everything worked as desired
