sort dataGrid

Hi,
Is there a way to define how the dataGrid is sorted... or is there any similar component available?
Actually the component sorts like this:
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
and i would like something like that:
1 4 7
2 5 8
3 6 9

Maybe i'm using the wrong component but i cant find any ohter that fits :(
I'm looking at the source code of the renderers but i think it would take a long time for me to do it myself so i beter ask if it is'nt present already ;)

Thanks!

Cheers,
Shifty

You should just define the items in the model in needed order. Datagrid designed fully similar to standard h:panelGrid but iterating the model. So it's outputs the data in given order placing in defined number of columns.

Thank you for your answer.

Isn't there an other way then define all the items new... thats kind of expensive.

I found something in the h:selectManyCheckbox -> layout="pageDirection" that would be great with the dataGrid...

use just the base component - a4j:repeat. You will be able to create any markup based on iteration data.
