How this Article should be dealt?

I don't know what is wrong with Mindfire guys. I suspect its a organised one,not the original one.

There is practically no contribution of the Author nor does the article explains anything to the reader it starts with a problem whose solution was provided by Tony Tomov - https://github.com/tonytomov/jqGrid/issues/430[^]

Not so sure that it's plagiarized. If you look at the details behind garora user name, you'll notice a user named Gaurav Arora which probably is the same person as the blog post author.

The Author had a problem for which he asked for a solution at - https://github.com/tonytomov/jqGrid/issues/430[^] the solution including the code was provided by Tony Tomov and not by the Author.

If someone creates a GitHub repository or a Blog post at different websites using someone else work then that doesn't means he becomes the owner of the code/content.

P.S. - The Author is not a Contributor to jqGrid

I noticed that but in his blog he has credited the author for his work

...I posted the issue in many forms and publishing/article places, including stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14865567/how-to-implement-naturalsort-in-jqgrid.
Unfortunately, I did not get a solution for this issue. And then I approached to Tony Mov the creator of
jqgrid . Afterwards, I logged a bug for this issue at here:
‘NaturalSort’ implementation...

....Finally, on February 08, 2014, Tony Mov announced the new feature here: https://github.com/tonytomov/jqGrid/commit/6131d8a464243d1120278f99a9cdf053246b518f. It is going to make...

...To make this working, Tony Mov, made some corrections to existing javascript natural sorting function as:...

As far as I can see he's not trying to take the credit... Am I missing something Confused | :confused:

After reading the post second time, I'd agree with you. The contribution is very thin, mainly few pictures so you're right this is basically just a copy of someone's else work. Thanks for pointing that out.
