Have you tried the sortProperty attribute for the column? The description for this is:
Name of the property in the bean specified in the parent table tag (via the "name" attribute) which will be used to sort values in the column. This can be used when the column body is filled or a decorator is used and column should sort on undecorated values. What would have gone in the property attribute goes here instead.

I have the following code for one of my columns <display:column title="Description" headerClass="Table_Col_Header" sortable="true" style="{text-align: left}"> <% String description = (((com.mitel.me.model.Domain) pageContext.getAttribute("tableId")).getDescription()); %> <%=description%> </display:column> I have omitted other code that does some calculations on the description etc, since it doesn't seem to be what is causing me the problem (ie, due to this other code that is required I can't simply use property="description in the column tag) If i have a list with the following descriptions aaaa bbbb CCCC dddd eeee FFFF and i sort, i get the following. CCCC FFFF aaaa bbbb dddd eeee It seems to sort descriptions that start with a capital letter first and then sort descriptions with lower case afterwards. Does anyone have an idea why this would be? This isn't the case if i simply use property="description", which I can't use since i need some extra logic to change the description in the jsp. Any ideas? Thanks.
