Hello,
Note that the ToDataSourceResult require a class with defined fields in order to execute sorting and filtering functionality. The MVC framework is working with models and the required functionality can not be achieved for a list of dictionaries.
Possible appraoch is to map the dictionary collection with Select before the ToDataSourceResult extension is applied, which is almost the same as creating a Model:
I hope this helps.
