Ken,
Thanks for all your help. I have tried the following variations and none
of them helped:
- printed columnValue and columnSort entries to make sure its correct.
They are correct. I get the following:
columnValue columnSort
#{tRow.value.col1} col1
#{tRow.value.col2} col2
#{tRow.value.col3} col3
...
- moved the handler calls to initPage, same result
- modified your example to mimic the kind of data I have, and it still
sorts fine.
Can anyone from woodstock team provide some insight into this?
URL to see the problem is:
http://svl3.sfbay.sun.com:8080/CADRe-test/usageReport.jsf
Problem: If I click any column other than the first, it always sorts
just the first column.
thanks
Karam
