Hi Karam,
That could indeed be the problem as that is the String that is being
compared. If an earlier value (say "lava" for example) is constant
across your columns, but changes per row. It will determine the sort
order for all of them, making it appear to sort the first column in all
cases. If this is the case, make sure you have a sort key in your model
for each row and use that.
On an unrelated topic, did I ever mention that I'm jealous that your
project uses the name "lava"? :) That was the original name of
JSFTemplating before lawyers killed it. :(
I hope this solves your problem!
