Hi, i've been playing around with exhibit a bit more and i think i've
found a bug in the formats.
using my field (B) (defined from previous email), i thought i'd first
try to just make sure that sorting on the numeric field works; so i
set up the <ex:columnFormats/> to be 'number'. however, when i click
on sort, the sort appears to be alphanumeric still :(
also, i discovered that you could potential change the label on the
field using the following format:
text{}
however, it only accepts the single parameter 'max-length'. it would
be useful (for me anyhow) to be able to use a parameter like 'value:
expression( .port )' to be able to achieve what i want.
thanks,
Yee.
