Well, you can do it. But it is a bit tricky. One solution would be to call a Struts Action from the displaytag generated hrefs (the sorting and paging hrefs) and add the filter criteria to them. See the docs how to add (or even exclude) parameters and to use another href (the Action in your case). The Action then would extract the parameters and apply the filter to the report.
Hope that helps. There are of course different solutions to your problem, but that was the one that came straight to my mind.
