I am trying to switch over to use the sort.xhtml, but I am having a problem. It does not seem to change the initial sort I have defined in my java class. It just executes the original query.

Here is a portion of the dataTable.

            <rich:dataTable id="phoneList" 
                           var="_phone"
                       value="#{phoneList.resultList}" 
                     rendered="#{not empty phoneList.resultList}">
                     
               <h:column>
                    <f:facet name="header">
                         <s:decorate template="/layout/sort.xhtml">
                              <ui:param name="entityList" value="#{phoneList}"/>
                              <ui:param name="propertyLabel" value="Company"/>
                              <!-- doesn't support two sort fields -->
                              <ui:param name="propertyPath" value="uzer.company"/>
                         </s:decorate>
                    </f:facet>
                 #{_phone.uzer.company}
               </h:column>               
                                    
             <h:column>
                  <f:facet name="header">
                     <a4j:htmlCommandLink styleClass="columnHeader" reRender="phoneList"
                                       value="Name #{phoneList.order=='uzer.name asc' ? messages.down : ( phoneList.order=='uzer.name desc' ? messages.up : '' )}">
                         <f:param name="phoneListOrder" value="#{phoneList.order=='uzer.name asc' ? 'uzer.name desc' : 'uzer.name asc'}"/>
                     </a4j:htmlCommandLink>
                 </f:facet>
                 #{_phone.uzer.name}
               </h:column>                     
               
             <h:column>
                 <f:facet name="header">
                     <a4j:htmlCommandLink styleClass="columnHeader" reRender="phoneList"
                                       value="Type #{phoneList.order=='type asc' ? messages.down : ( phoneList.order=='type desc' ? messages.up : '' )}">
                         <f:param name="phoneListOrder" value="#{phoneList.order=='type asc' ? 'type desc' : 'type asc'}"/>
                     </a4j:htmlCommandLink>
                 </f:facet>
                 #{_phone.type}
             </h:column>   

               <h:column>
                    <f:facet name="header">
                         <s:decorate template="/layout/sort.xhtml">
                              <ui:param name="entityList" value="#{phoneList}"/>
                              <ui:param name="propertyLabel" value="Number"/>
                              <!-- doesn't support two sort fields -->
                              <ui:param name="propertyPath" value="phone.phoneNumber"/>
                         </s:decorate>
                    </f:facet>
                 #{_phone.phoneNumber}
               </h:column>          

               <h:column>
                    <f:facet name="header">               
                       <ui:include src="/layout/sort.xhtml">
                              <ui:param name="entityList" value="#{personList}"/>
                              <ui:param name="propertyLabel" value="Number"/>
                              <ui:param name="propertyPath" value="phone.phoneNumber"/>
                         </ui:include>
                    </f:facet>
                 #{_phone.phoneNumber}
               </h:column>
                               
             <h:column>
                 <f:facet name="header">Action</f:facet>
                 <s:link view="/role/admin/#{empty from ? 'Phone' : from}.xhtml" 
                        value="Select" 
                           id="phone"
                       propagation="none">                           
                      <f:param name="phoneFrom" 
                             value="#{phoneFrom}"/>
                     <f:param name="phoneId" 
                             value="#{_phone.id}"/>
                 </s:link>
             </h:column>
                      
            </rich:dataTable>

The PhoneList.java:

@Name("phoneList")
public class PhoneList extends EntityQuery<Phone>
{
     private static final long serialVersionUID = -8080460493565303154L;

     private static final String[] RESTRICTIONS = {
          // tab list selection
          "phone.uzer.id = #{uzerHome.uzerId}",
          // non-tab list selection
          "lower(phone.uzer.company) like concat(lower(#{phoneList.phone.uzer.company}),'%')",
          "lower(phone.uzer.name) like concat(lower(#{phoneList.phone.uzer.name}),'%')",
          "lower(phone.type) like concat(lower(#{phoneList.phone.type}),'%')",
          "lower(phone.phoneNumber) like concat(lower(#{phoneList.phone.phoneNumber}),'%')",
          "lower(phone.ext) like concat(lower(#{phoneList.phone.ext}),'%')",
          };
     
     private Phone phone = new Phone();
     
     public PhoneList()
    {
          this.setMaxResults(25);
        this.setEjbql("select phone from Phone phone");
          this.setOrder("phone.type asc");
          this.setRestrictionExpressionStrings(Arrays.asList(RESTRICTIONS));
    }

     public Phone getPhone() {
          return phone;
     }
     
}

Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,
Scott
