Hello, I thought of that but the table is multi columned and once the user has sorted the table by a different column, they will then want to sort the table by this column again which would not be possible if I presented a sorted list from my controller. I could hack that in but it would be very ugly and I need to do this kind of custom sorting all over my app.
Most frsutrating thing is that I'm looking through the displayatg source code base and I cannot see the issue! Thanks for your email.
