extendedDataTable sortBy grouppingByColumn

[johnbesel]

Hello everyone,

I have a question about extendedDataTable and grouppingByColumn.

The user can set grouppingByColumn if he click the context menu of column and chose group by this Column.

Do I have the possibility to set grouppingByColumn with sorting of new column??

I mean if the user click on header of column to sort it, then the dataTable is grouped by this column.

thank you for your answer.

I'm afraid that this could be done only by turning off the default menu and implement it on your own. As the table do not provide sortEvent - no way to register custom listener.

thank Ilja,

I tried to do following:
<rich:column id="Hersteller" binding="#{personenBBean.hersteller}" filterBy="#{car.carmaker}" filterEvent="onkeyup">
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Hersteller" />
<a:support event="onRowClick" action="#{personenBBean.groupByHersteller}" reRender="sampleData"/>

</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{car.carmaker}" />
</rich:column>

but if I click on header in GUI, the application dont go into personenBBean.groupByHersteller.
I wanted to set groupByColumn in this method.
Do you have the idea why???

Can implement my own sortmethod?
in documentation stay, that sortExpression is only implemented for ScrollableDataTable.
