Betlista commented on WICKET-4535:
----------------------------------
Just wondering is there a real-life example in which to use something else than
String? There was example (if I understood it well) with int as index...
Let say I have object O with array arr and I want to sort by second element in
that array. I'd simply use property arr[1] and I'm done, or I missed something?
> Inconsistent use of generics in sorting APIs

> The Sort APIs use very generics inconsistently. Classes like
> SortableDataProvider, ISortState, SortParam etc do not all uniformly cater
> for sort properties other than string. There is a lot of unchecked casting,
> which is not really required, if generics were used across the board.
> Fixing this will probably cause API changes for 6.
