I submitted a patch today for jira issue: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/DISPL-131 dealing with allowing the sorting to be done outside of displaytag. This is in preparation for a patch I am working on to allow external pagination. The external sorting patch passes all currently functional tests, as well as adds its own test. I was unable to find where to update the pdf manual else I would have added a patch for that as well.
To use external sorting you specify sort=external on the table tag. Additionally you can specify a specific sortName on the column tags, so that when the sortable header links are built it will have a parameter d-(encodedId)-s=(sortNameHere) instead of the usual column index. It might make it easier for some people who change their layouts frequently. Let me know what you think.
