Actually, I spoke too soon. All that was happening was that the defaultSortOrder was being set. When that happened, it was possible to sort the default column both asc and desc. However, it was impossible to sort any other columns. I have re-read the documentation (several times) and I think I'm doing it right. Here is the current version: I am using the value list pattern - that is, the form for displaying in the table implements org.displaytag.pagination.PaginatedList correctly. That means that I don't need to do the sort="external" thing. The table: <display:table name="masterTransactionPagedList" defaultsort="1" id="element" requestURI="MasterTransactionList.do" decorator="com.agl.mdh.display.decorators.MasterTransactionListDecorator"> <display:column property="market" sortable="true" title="Market" /> </display:table> I have tried it with the sortName value set, but the link rendered by the sort href never seems to use it - i.e. it always looks like this: http://localhost:8080/portal/action/MasterTransactionList.do?transactionID=&sort =market&dir=asc (I have trimmed some of the other irrelevant parameters) Which is as the documentation suggests it should look - http://foo.bar.com/context/requestUri?sort=name&dir=asc&originalParameters=ori ginalValues. ) The page number links work OK: http://localhost:8080/portal/action/MasterTransactionList.do?sort=market&superTr anType=B2B&dir=asc&page=2 (which again seems correct) It's just that the sorting never triggers - so the link from the header is always set to be dir=asc. Interestingly, the css class which is triggered when the column is sorted, is never triggered (and it was triggered when I had the defaultsort property set). The result of this is that when I click the link, the back end picks up the correct column to sort by, but the sorting href never changes to "desc". I am completely stumped by this. I really like the library (and really don't want to have to spend ages finding another sorting and paging library (or writing my own)), but I'm getting desperate. Is it possible that there is a bug in the library? I will have a bit of a poke around in the code and see if I can figure it out. ______________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this forum.
