Do RichFaces has DataTable Header column sorting (AJAX type)

[lisaanm]

Hi.,
I'm quite new to RichFaces. I would like to know whether a UI datatable component has built-in sorting functionality (with or without AJAX type).
I tried to find myself from DEMO but I couldn't.

Also.. is the current data scroller/pagination works with AJAX type?

Thanks

I think the answer is NO for now. But you can easy implement such feature using a4j:commandLink

I guess, the NO answer for the first question. datascroller works using Ajax.

And, yes, the sorting might be implemented with just simple commandLink what has an action that performs the sorting.

Hi.,
Thanks for your replies.

1) Datatable Sorting
I know that this could be achieved using a4j, but as Richfaces supposed to be a RIA solution, i just thought sorting comes buit-in.
2) Datascroller
Sorry!! my mistake. Its working as I expected.

Thanks.

I have a question, related the last posts.

Does some DataTable sorting functionality included in the future (as built-in solution), is it planned?

Or should I use a4j:commandLink for all my sorting expectations?.

As you know, Tomahawk, IceFaces...etc have some sorting functionality included (sortCommand...I guess). And they absolutely does not only display a link for sorting, they have also other functions.
