title: Is it possible to have column header filtering in jqGrid?
body: <p>I've taken a look over all of the examples over at <a href="http://www.trirand.com/blog/jqgrid/jqgrid.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">jqGrid Demos</a> but have been unable to find an example of column header filtering.</p>
  
  <p>Take for example how Excel works:</p>

  <p>Is it possible to enable this type of sorting, which gives a distinct list of fields in a drop down menu?</p>
  
  <p>I've noticed that <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6875294/two-related-questions-on-jqgrid-column-header-filters-and-the-advanced-filtering">this particular answer</a> displays them, but ideally I'd like to do it by default without having to open and set filters in the filter window.</p>
  
  <p>Sorry I don't have any code to show, I'm look more for a general yes/no and pointer if so, maybe with a couple of quick examples thrown in.</p>
  
  <p>So, am I in luck?</p>
