Forgot to mention that an example of both ListDataProvider and AsyncDataProvider can be found here: - http://code.google.com/intl/da/webtoolkit/doc/latest/DevGuideUiCellTable.html
We think that the sorting inside the AsyncDataProvider breaks the idea of separation of view and data. Or have we totally misunderstood when to use AsyncDataProvider vs ListDataProvider? Or how sorting is implemented.
