> I have a property list for each page in my application that I store in the 
> session.  If the user sorts the column in DESCENDING order I add 'desc' to 
> the property name and pass that list to the SortTool.  The problem is that in 
> the PropertiesComparator constructor, my list gets assigned to the member 
> field and the member field is changed (the ':desc' is removed from the list). 
>  The result is the next time the user returns to the page with the column in 
> DESCENDING order, the order is ASCENDING, which is not what I want.  I want 
> to preserve the user's selection.
> Here is the code in SortTool I'm referring to:
> public class PropertiesComparator implements Comparator
>     {
>         ...
>         List properties;
>         ...
>         public PropertiesComparator(List properties)
>         {
>             this.properties = properties;      //the member list is pointing 
> to my list now
>             ...
>             int colonIndex = prop.indexOf(':');
>                 if (colonIndex != -1)
>                 {
>                     String sortType = prop.substring(colonIndex + 1);
>                     properties.set(i, prop.substring(0, colonIndex));        
> //and here the 'desc' is removed
> I rebuild the velocity-tools.jar with the following changes to fix the 
> problem:
>  public PropertiesComparator(List propertiesList)
>  {
>             // I am copying my properties list to the member list instead of 
> pointing to the same list
>             properties = new ArrayList(propertiesList.size());
>             properties.addAll(propertiesList);
