[jQuery] jqGrid client-side paging with sorting

Dear all,
I'm looking to establish client-side paging in addition to client-side
sorting using jqGrid. jqGrid currently supports client-side sorting
using loadonce: true, but it doesn't have features able to paginate
the content (apparently it's slated for a future release). Can someone
direct me towards the right direction?

A possible hint suggested by someone but that I haven't been able to
implement is using loadComplete and onPaging

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best,
Rio
