ping..

The message following this got no response from the list, just to check 
- has anyone used a column comparator (and got it working) within 
displaytag.  If not then, that's cool - it'll mean I have to go and 
learn jmesa but I'd prefer not to!!

Thanks, in advance, for your help.

Cheers,

Neil

Hello,

         I am trying to display some data and I a want a column in a 
table to be sorted by a custom comparator, the code in my jsp page looks 
like this:

---

<div class="contentelement"><display:table name="workItems"
   export="true" requestURI=""
   decorator="de.mpicbg.db.endotrack.displaydecorators.WorkItemDecorator">
   <display:setProperty name="basic.msg.empty_list"
       value="No WorkItems are available" />
{snip}
   <display:column property="code" sortable="true"
       titleKey="organisation.code"
       comparator="de.mpicbg.db.common.comparator.AlphaNumComparator"
       sortProperty="code" />
{snip}

</display:table></div>

---

 The line above which is of interest is the one surrounded by {snip} - 
in this I am trying to use a custom comparator to alter the way a string 
value is sorted.  I know the comparator works as I have a test case 
which runs.  However the displaytag rendering seems to completely ignore 
this class when it executes - the data is unsorted and the log message 
shows that the compare method is never called.

 Does anyone have an example of using a custom comparator for sorting 
and/or tips of what I could be doing wrong?

 Thanks, in advance for your help.

Cheers,

Neil
