Hi, I am doing something that is sort of similar.
I have a sorted display:table with an Excel export option and I want to put some cell references in the excel output. I can workout the column, A, B, C etc from where I position the column in the display:table, but the row is trickier, rowNum seems to be the pre-sorted row number. For example, my collection has in it: Name3 Name2 Name1 But I have a sort on Name, I get this output: RowNum Name 3 Name1 2 Name2 1 Name3 If I maintain a variable in the jsp, it is evaluated in the pre-sorted order and so results in the same numbers. I am handling this for now by removing the sort and using rowNum. I guess I will need to do the sorting in the code that produces the collection. I have already disabled the ability of the users to re-sort, so that does not cause any further issues. I am assuming, especially from this and other posts that display:tag has nothing that would help me with this. Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

You'll probably have to manage those numbers yourself. DisplayTag doesn't store what number goes with what row, it just increments a counter while it's building up the table and passes that value on. So if you want the row numbers to be part of the data, you'll have to treat it that way.
