forgot to mention i am using richfaces 3.3.0

[jigar_k_parekh]

is there any other way to validate input spinner. i have tried same with input Text but same result. or can i set sort column to immdiate to true?

[ilya_shaikovsky]

you could avoid this by using external sorting with your own controls. then you could use attributes like ajaxSingle, process and so on. We can't overload the table with action attributes in order to get built-in simple sorting highly customizable.

vist rf-demo in order to check how external sorting is used.

[jigar_k_parekh]

but do you consider this as bug as sorting and validation would common feature required in data table?

[jigar_k_parekh]

same problem is occuring with extended datatable where any thing i do causing validation to be fired. looks like validation with data table is having lot of issue. any work around for this ?

[ilya_shaikovsky]

we do not consider this as a bug because you could simply override sorting built-in behaviour by using external sorting. and all the tables behaves in the same way.

thanks for your reply, now my problem is not only limited to sorting, now with extended data table if i do column resize or grouping or any thing, validation is getting inoveked, is there any way to change this behavior for extended data table
