sortable column

[tjakopec]

What is status on sortable column? I see sortable and sortExpression attributes but they are not working. Why even sortExpression? Isn't sortable generic thing, you said sortable="true" (default behavior) and column is sortable by clickin on column header?

I use trunk build (20070911)

All this stuff has been designed and works well for rich:scrollableDataTable. Including those features in the functionality of rich:dataTable is under consideration.

Do you recommend that we transform our dataTable components into scrollableDataTable components or to wait that you implement in dataTable?

I try to use scrollableDataTable instead dataTable and I must said I am not happy. That is two different worlds.

In dataTable you recommend

<r:dataTable id="tablicaKriteriji" var="v"value="#{natjecaj.kriterijiNaNatjecaju}">

 <f:facet name="header">
 <r:columnGroup>

 <r:column>
 <t:outputText value="#{messages['zajednicke.oznacen']}" />
 </r:column>
 ....
 <r:column>
 <t:outputText
 value="#{messages['kadrovska.natjecaji.natjecaj.tezina']}" />
 </r:column>
 </r:columnGroup>
 </f:facet>



 <r:column styleClass="kolonaCentrirano">
 <t:selectBooleanCheckbox id="oznacenKriterij" value="#{v.oznacen}" />
 </r:column>

 ...

 <r:column>
 <r:inputNumberSlider id="tezina" value="#{v.tezina}" maxValue="100"
 step="1" showBoundaryValues="true" showInput="true"
 showToolTip="true" onchange="preracunajTezine();" />
 </r:column>


 <f:facet name="footer">
 <r:columnGroup id="grupaKolonaPodnozje">

 <r:column>
 <t:outputText value="" />
 </r:column>
 ...
 <r:column>
 <t:outputText id="ukupnoTezina" value="#{natjecaj.ukupnoTezina}" />
 </r:column>
 </r:columnGroup>
 </f:facet>

</r:dataTable>

now in scrollableDataTable you recommend

<r:scrollableDataTable id="tablicaKriteriji" var="v"value="#{natjecaj.kriterijiNaNatjecaju}">
<r:column styleClass="kolonaCentrirano">
 <f:facet name="header">
 <t:outputText value="#{messages['zajednicke.oznacen']}" />
 </f:facet>
 <t:selectBooleanCheckbox id="oznacenKriterij" value="#{v.oznacen}" />
</r:column>
 ...

</r:scrollableDataTable>

(This kind off approach have tomahawk on there dataTable)

I must said I will like to have (very much) sortable functionality on dataTable. Currently in our project there is over 70 dataTable components ad non off them is sortable :(
Converting that in scrollableDataTable will give me more problem than benefits.

Please, pretty pleas :) put sortable functionality in dataTable!

The purpose of them are too different to suggest something like that.

The task of making a table column sortable on the application level is very easy. The solution is mentioned here, on the forum, couple times. I am not sure, but it is about 5-10 lines of code (might be less) .
Of course, waiting is always the option ;-)
