Setting Format of some column to AW.Formats.Number on xml based grid do not format the cell data in those columns

Hi Alex

I am trying to set the format of a column to AW.Formats.Number and formatting the data with the following :

var cellFormatter2 = new AW.Formats.Number;
cellFormatter2.setTextFormat("###,###,###,###");
obj.setCellFormat(cellFormatter2,1);

This I am doing for second column. and using xml Model to receive data from remote server that exports data as xml stream.

I am not able to see my data formatted as 222,223,445,666

Can u help me out to resolve this issue.

Thanks

The format should be "#,###." for zero decimals

var cellFormatter2 = new AW.Formats.Number;
cellFormatter2.setTextFormat("#,###.");
obj.setCellFormat(cellFormatter2,1);

Hi Alex

I really appreciate your response.
Everything seems to be fine.Now after applying the formatting and making those cells uneditable , we are trying to sort the data for that particular column but the sorting breaks now.

I have tried to set the text in on cell using onCellEditStarted event and reapplied the formatting on onCellEditEnded event but the sorting still breaks.

I have found that If I change column "Employees" with values 10 100 and 12 and then do sorting ...it breaks.. but if i edit three cells of employee and give values as 010 100 012 .The sorting runs perfectly fine.It seems that there is some inconsistency between text,data,value
I am attaching you the sample code .Please help us to resolve the issue.
