Sortable columns in a columngroup does not work (ver 3.2.0)

[mjdenham]

I need to use a columnGroup for the complex header layout it provides. However sortBy does not seem to work if your columns are in a columnGroup. Here is a simple example:


<rich:dataTable value="#{searchPage.customers}" var="cust">
<f:facet name="header">
<rich:columnGroup>
<rich:column sortBy="#{cust.name}">
<h:outputText value="Name" />
</rich:column>
</rich:columnGroup>
</f:facet>
<rich:column sortBy="#{cust.name}">
<h:outputText value="#{cust.name}"/>
</rich:column>
</rich:dataTable>

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Martin

Definition of sorting attributes inside header - isn't usefull at all.

column which iterates data could be sort-able only..

how should we know about what the column you need to be sorted with sort attributes defined in general header??

Header for the concrete column should be sort contol. Or if you can't use this - use external sorting. Example at our livedemo.
