Sorting group columns in ag-grid

Question

I am grouping (and aggregating) on a column. Using the example on the ag-grid site, let's say it's Country. I am using these options:

groupUseEntireRow: true,
groupHideGroupColumns: true

and when I define the Country column in the columnDefs I add: rowGroupIndex: 0

But when the grid loads, the Country groupings do not show in alphabetical order by default. How can I get them to sort? I didn't see anything in the documentation that explains this.

Note that I do NOT need to allow the user to sort Country later, I just want to order by Country when the grid loads.

You can disable the sorting with suppressSorting and yet use the sort attribute to fix the sort of the column. Note : group sorting just came out with 3.3.0 from 08th February 2016 ag-grid.com/angular-grid-column-definitions/index.php — Walfrat
Thanks. I saw the code at the bottom of the page and that fixed it! — Mark Salamon
