I have a RichFaces UI which are having sidebar menu and sidebar had 8 links. I am using Seam @DataModel and @Factory and hibernate criteria to populate all the 8 pages. In all the pages i have sortby functionality which is working fine. I am able to get all data in all the 8 pages and I can freely navigate around all the links/xhtmls. But if in one of the xhtmlpages if I do sorting or groupby after that I am unable to navigate to other pages.If I select any other link the same last query which is executed for sorting is getting executed. Is this an issue? or do I need add any configuration. Please help me in solving this issue. Below is the codesnippet one of the 8 xhtml

		<rich:column sortable="true"
    		sortBy="#{p.regionid}" width="100px" label="Region Id">
		<f:facet name="header">
		<h:outputText value="Region Id" />
		</f:facet>
		<h:outputText value="#{p.regionid}" />
		</rich:column>

		<rich:column sortable="true"
    		sortBy="#{p.region}" width="100px" label="Region Name">
		<f:facet name="header">
		<h:outputText value="Region Name" />
		</f:facet>
		<h:outputText value="#{p.region}" />
		</rich:column>
