Server-side DataTable Sorting in RichFaces
- by sblundy
I have a data table with a variable number of columns and a data scroller. How can I enable server side sorting? I prefer that it be fired by the user clicking the column header.
<rich:datascroller for="instanceList" actionListener="#{pageDataModel.pageChange}"/>
<rich:dataTable id="instanceList" rows="10" value="#{pageDataModel}"
                var="fieldValues" rowKeyVar="rowKey">
  <rich:columns value="#{pageDataModel.columnNames}" var="column" index="idx">
    <f:facet name="header">
      <h:outputText value="#{column}"/>
    </f:facet>          
    <h:outputText value="#{classFieldValues[idx]}" />
  </rich:columns>
</rich:dataTable>
I already have a method on the bean for executing the sort.
public void sort(int column)
