I have a RichFaces UI which are having sidebar menu and sidebar had 8 links.
I am using Seam @DataModel and @Factory and hibernate criteria to populate all the 8 pages.
In all the pages i have sortby functionality which is working fine.
I am able to get all data in all the 8 pages and I can freely navigate around all the links/xhtmls.
But if in one of the xhtmlpages if I do sorting or groupby after that I am unable to navigate to other pages.If I select any other link the same last query which is executed for

sorting is getting executed.
Is this an issue? or do I need add any configuration.
Please help me in solving this issue.
Below is the codesnippet
one of the 8 xhtml
<rich:dataTable id="listRegion" rows="30"
value="#{regions}" var="p">

<rich:column sortable="true"
sortBy="#{p.regionid}" width="100px" label="Region Id">
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Region Id" />
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{p.regionid}" />
</rich:column>

<rich:column sortable="true"
sortBy="#{p.region}" width="100px" label="Region Name">
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Region Name" />
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{p.region}" />
</rich:column>

Sidebar
<rich:panelMenuItem label="Region" action="/regionList.xhtml">

Action

@DataModel("regions")
private List listRegions;

@Factory("regions")
public void getRegions() {
System.out.println("Inside get Regions");
Session userDatabase = HibernateUtil.getSession();
Criteria crit = userDatabase.createCriteria(CoreRegion.class);
listRegions = crit.list();
