Hi there,

Is it possible to bind the sorting of a dataTable to a backingbean, so the backingbean remembers how the user wants the datatable to be sorted.

I.e. something like this:

<rich:dataTable value="#{fooBackingbean.items}" var="item" sort="#{fooBackingBean.sort}">

 <rich:column sortBy="#{item.someProperty}">
 <f:facet name="header">Some property</f:facet>
 <h:outputText value="#{item.someProperty}"/>
 </rich:column>

 <rich:column sortBy="#{item.someOtherProperty}">
 <f:facet name="header">Some property</f:facet>
 <h:outputText value="#{item.someOtherProperty}"/>
 </rich:column>

</rich:dataTable>
