Brian Leathem commented on RF-4308:
-----------------------------------

RichWidget issue [#137|https://github.com/richwidgets/richwidgets/issues/137] 
has been resoloved; the client-side hook is now in place.  Further work 
required to resolve this issue involves:

# Extending 
[ClientSelectItem|https://github.com/richfaces/richfaces/blob/master/framework/src/main/java/org/richfaces/ui/select/ClientSelectItem.java]
 to track the sequence number of the Selectitem in the pick list
# Adding a _data-rf-index_ attribute to the items in the pick list [CDK 
template|https://github.com/richfaces/richfaces/blob/master/framework/src/main/java/org/richfaces/ui/select/pickList/pick-list.template.xml]
# Adding a _sortFunction_ option to the pick-list widget invocation in the 
[pick-list-bridge|https://github.com/richfaces/richfaces/blob/master/framework/src/main/resources/META-INF/resources/org.richfaces/bridge/select/pick-list-bridge.js]

----

In the mean time, a workaround would be to implement your own pick list widget 
_sortFunction_ by listening for the widget _create_ event:
{code}
$('<my-selector>').on('picklist', 'create', function(a, b) {
   return ...
});
{code}

A concrete example of this looks like:
{code}
$('#list').on('picklistcreate', function(event, ui) {
  $('#list').pickList('option', 'sortFunction', function(a, b) {
    return $(a).data('key') - $(b).data('key');
  });
});
{code}

> When adding items from the source list to the target list and removing this 
> items again, the original order of the source list is not preserved. This 
> makes it hard to find items in a list that is longer than just a fest items. 
> A good example is the second example on the livedemo at 
> http://livedemo.exadel.com/richfaces-demo/richfaces/pickList.jsf. Add the 
> first state (Alabama) and remove it. It can now be found at the very end of 
> the otherwise alphabetical list of states. This can be rather unintuitive for 
> a user.
> My suggestion is either remember the original sort order of the source list, 
> or add some attribute that enables automatic sorting.
