2columns layout list unsorted

[esmith1]

After adding a 2columns layout (details below), I see in the Configure Dashboard the layouts are not sorted and display in this order: generic, 1column, 3columns, 2columns, default. (Notice 2 follows 3.) This seems random: not alphabetical and does not match the order in the portal-layouts.xml.
As best I can tell this will require a java code change to sort (by layout name?), unless someone knows another way to sort the layout list?

dashboard.xhtml is using #{applicationScope.LayoutService.layoutItems}
which is coming from AdminPropertyResolver.java using Collection layouts = layoutService.getLayouts();
which is coming from LayoutServiceImpl.java which is using return Collections.unmodifiableCollection(layouts.values());.

Here's how to create the 2columns layout:
1) Create a new directory, jboss-portal.sar\portal-core.war\layouts\2columns
2) Copy jboss-portal.sar\portal-core.war\layouts\generic\index.jsp to
jboss-portal.sar\portal-core.war\layouts\2columns\index.jsp
3) Replace this block of code in the new 2columns\index.jsp file

 <div id="content-container">
 <!-- insert the content of the 'left' region of the page, and assign the css selector id 'regionA' -->
 <p:region regionName='left' regionID='regionA'/>
 <!-- insert the content of the 'center' region of the page, and assign the css selector id 'regionB' -->
 <p:region regionName='center' regionID='regionB'/>
 <hr class="cleaner"/>
 </div>

with this

 <div id="content-container">
 <!-- insert the content of the 'left' region of the page, and assign the css selector id 'region50Percent' -->
 <p:region regionName='left' regionID='region50Percent'/>
 <!-- insert the content of the 'right' region of the page, and assign the css selector id 'region50Percent' -->
 <p:region regionName='right' regionID='region50Percent'/>
 <hr class="cleaner"/>
 </div>

4) Insert this block of code into jboss-portal.sar\portal-core.war\WEB-INF\portal-layouts.xml between 1column and 3columns

 <layout>
 <name>2columns</name>
 <uri>/layouts/2columns/index.jsp</uri>
 <uri state="maximized">/layouts/generic/maximized.jsp</uri>
 <regions>
 <region name="left"/>
 <region name="right"/>
 </regions>
 </layout>

5) For each theme you want to have support this, for instance renaissance, add these lines to
jboss-portal.sar\portal-core.war\themes\renaissance\portal_style.css, below the #regionC definition:

 #region50Percent {
 width: 50%;
 float: left;
 margin: 0px;
 padding: 0px;
 min-width: 250px;
 }

6) Restart the server. You should see the "2columns" in the Dashboard layout select list.
