Thai, You want the sort attribute to the table tag:
http://displaytag.sourceforge.net/tagreference-displaytag-12.html sort: Use 'page' if you want to sort only visible records, or 'list' if you want to sort the full list. So you'd want to use list for your case. By "interface", what they mean is that sorting a paged list is maybe kind of a bad thing, so you'd want to provide another way of displaying the information, e.g. using an alphabetical index so instead of seeing 100 items, you'd only see the items that start with 'S' or something like that. But there's no specific interface to which they're referring. It's like the discussions about wanting to have checkboxes that are submitted as you page through a list. There are ways to do precisely that, but there are probably better ways to accomplish the same end goal but with a better interface design.
