I would like to use nonstandard input fields e.g. calendar for filtering. I know that it can be simply done by placing this field in the column header and providing "filterMethod" for custom filtering. I'm also using standard sorting mechanism which means that table is sorted after column header is clicked. Now, the problem is that I can't use custom filtering since after clicking e.g. calendar icon to choose some date for filtering, richFaces mechanism treats it as if I clicked column header and sorts table. With this issue I'm not able to provide any data for filtering.

Is this solvable somehow? I'm using RichFaces-3.2.1.GA
