Ok, I fixed the problem by updating displaytag source codes: org.displaytag.render.HtmlTableWriter.java
Did the following changes: ================================== // add column number as link parameter if(headerCell.getSortName() != null) { href.addParameter(encodeParameter(TableTagParameters.PARAMETER_SORT), headerCell.getSortName()); } else if (!this.tableModel.isLocalSort() && (headerCell.getSortName() != null)) { href.addParameter(encodeParameter(TableTagParameters.PARAMETER_SORT), headerCell.getSortName()); href.addParameter(encodeParameter(TableTagParameters.PARAMETER_SORTUSINGNAME), "1"); } else { href.addParameter(encodeParameter(TableTagParameters.PARAMETER_SORT), headerCell.getColumnNumber()); } Now it works! -- Lu Ying On 06/03/2010 03:56 PM, Emi Lu wrote: > On 06/03/2010 03:17 PM, Emi Lu wrote: >> Hello List, >> >> For external sorting, >> >> req.getParameter((new >> ParamEncoder(tableID)).encodeParameterName(TableTagParameters.PARAMETER_SORT)) >> >> is to retrieve column number such as 1, 2, .... >> >> But is there a way to retrieve "lname", "gname", etc >> >> but not the number ? >> > SortName already set in display:column, but still returns column order > but not colum name? > > Someone knows why?
