Hi, I have the following codes:
<h:form>
<a4j:commandButton value="Save" action ="#{fareManager.save}" reRender="fareSearchResult"> </a4j:commandButton>
<a4j:outputPanel id="fareSearchResult">
<rich:orderingList
value="#{fareManager.fareDatas}"
var="fareData" listHeight="400" listWidth="500"
selection="#{fareManager.selectedFareDatas>
...
</rich:orderingList>
</a4j:outputPanel>
</h:form>
What I am trying to achieve is:
After the ordering list is populated by database quary, the usersmay adjust the postions of the elements in the list using the control buttons (Up, Down, Top, Buttom);
If the user is satisfied with the changes and click the save button, the save() method in the backing bean will assign each element with a ascending sequence number (that is, the value of the "seq" attribute in the element at the top of the orderingList will be set to 0 and the second will be set to 1, etc).
However, I don't think the List will maintain the order of the elements it holds. So, my question is:
Is it possible to retrieve the elements in a orderingList from the backing bean in an order exactly the same with the order that the elements are displayed on the client browser?
