[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/DISPL-39?page=comments#action_63396 ]
Joachim Martin commented on DISPL-39: ------------------------------------- This would be a great feature. Something like multisort="country, state, city", would sort all three columns. Of course a developer can add this with an external sort, but this makes it harder to be used by designer types. > Let users sort across multiple columns > -------------------------------------- > > Key: DISPL-39 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/DISPL-39 > Project: DisplayTag > Type: Improvement > Components: Paging/Sorting > Versions: 1.0 RC1 > Reporter: fabrizio giustina > Priority: Minor > Fix For: TBD > > > ==== > imported from sf tracker > id 830363 > submitted by Richard Atkins - rjatkins > http://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=830363 > ==== > Sorting in the library should support the user sorting > across multiple columns.
