> Using a rich:dataTable with a rich:column that has a sortOrder and sortBy 
> set, backed by an ExtendedDataModel implementing Arrangeable, no 
> ArrangeableState is set on the underlying model unless `sortBy' is an EL 
> value expression. If `sortBy' is a constant, the arrangeable state remains 
> null.
> The ValueExpression may point to a bean accessor that returns the exact same 
> string value as was provided as a constant. The value expression version will 
> work, the constant one won't. Even if the value expression is simply an EL 
> expression for a string literal it works.
> This works:
> {noformat}
>    sortBy="#{'propname'}"
> {noformat}
> this silently fails as if sortBy= wasn't present:
> {noformat}
>    sortBy="propname"
> {noformat}
> ... and that looks like a bug to me.
> For example, take the toy code:
> {code:xml}
> <h:form id="customerForm">
>     <rich:dataTable id="customerTable"
>                     var="customer"
>                     value="#{customers.model}"
>                     rows="50">
>         <!-- Change `sortBy' below to sortBy="propname" and it'll fail, even 
> though the result should be IDENTICAL -->
>         <!-- Use sortBy="#{'propname'}" and it'll work -->
>         <rich:column sortBy="${customers.sortBy}" 
> sortOrder="#{customers.codeSortOrder}" id="code">
>             <f:facet name="header">
>                 <h:outputText value="Customer Code"/>
>                 <h:outputText value="Sorting: #{customers.codeSortOrder}"/>
>             </f:facet>
>             <h:outputText value="#{customer.code}" />
>         </rich:column>
>         <rich:column id="name">
>             <f:facet name="header">
>                 <h:outputText value="Customer Name"/>
>             </f:facet>
>             <h:outputText value="#{customer.name}" />
>         </rich:column>
>     </rich:dataTable>
>     <rich:dataScroller for="customerTable" />
> </h:form>
> {code}
> where "customers" is:
> {code:title=Customers.java}
> @Named
> @RequestScoped
> public class Customers {
>     
>     // "CustomerDataModel" is a JPADataModel<Customer> as per
>     //   
> http://showcase.richfaces.org/richfaces/component-sample.jsf?demo=dataTable&sample=arrangeableModel&skin=blueSky
>     // and the nature of the "Customer" entity is irrelevant beyond the fact 
> that it has "name" and "code" properties.
>     @Inject
>     private CustomerDataModel dataModel;
>        
>     private SortOrder codeSortOrder = SortOrder.ascending, nameSortOrder = 
> SortOrder.ascending;
>     
>     public CustomerDataModel getModel() {
>         return dataModel;
>     }
>     public String getSortBy() {
>         return "propname";
>     }
>     // blah blah accessors for members omitted for brevity since most 
> IDE-generate them anyway
>     // Maybe Java will get real properties one day....
> }
> {code}
> Clearly, #{customers.sortBy} evaluates to the string "propname". Yet if we 
> write:
>    sortBy="propname"
> no ArrangeableState is set on the backing Arrangeable ExtendedDataModel. 
> Writing the effectively identical:
>    sortBy="#{customers.sortBy}"
> works, as does:
>    sortBy="#{'propname'}"
> Try it out on the RichFaces showcase example. I suspect the reason this 
> didn't get caught was that the showcase uses an include to repeat the 
> columns, so it's using a value expression to indirect the constant.

> http://showcase.richfaces.org/richfaces/component-sample.jsf?demo=dataTable&sample=arrangeableModel&skin=blueSky
> I haven't built a self-contained test case for this one as it seems trivial 
> to reproduce with anything you'd have lying around. If you need a test case 
> let me know and I'll chuck a Maven project together.
> (Edit: multiple edits to figure out why JIRA was mangling the text. Turns out 
> anything within curly braces is treated as markup, even EL expressions with 
> single quotes immediately inside the braces. Sorry for the spam.)
