Description

Hi,

I am sorting the UI-Grid by using $scope.gridApi.saveState.restore($scope, converObjectToGrid); In UI its displaying as expected but when i export to PDF or CSV the sort order is not maintained in Exported file.

Export to PDF Function as bellow : var grid = $scope.gridApi.grid; var rowTypes = uiGridExporterConstants.ALL; var colTypes = uiGridExporterConstants.ALL; uiGridExporterService.pdfExport(grid, rowTypes, colTypes);

Please find the attached screenshot's before exporting and exported data imh grid

Research direction
Investigate the export service code in the ui grid repository, particularly the pdfExport and csvExport functions in uiGridExporterService.js. Determine how the current sort order is applied during export and identify where the sort state is lost. Check for existing tests related to export with sorting to guide the fix. Look for any comments or linked PRs that discuss this issue.
