MyFaces dataTable column sorting

[Malone, Daniel]

Hi,

I'm trying to get the MyFaces dataTable to sort my columns. Getting 
to show up my data was no problem so I think I'm on the right way.

I'm not sure what the two attributes "sortColumn" and "sortAscending"
mean. 
I know that a String and a boolean is expected but that's about it.
Maybe 
someone can help me out.

I had a look at the examples on Irian.com but they don't help very much.

Is more for looking at.

I'm thankful for any hint.

JSP Page Code

<t:dataTable
        id="tbUsers"
        var="user"
        value="#{Results.list}"
        sortColumn="#{Results.sort}"
        sortAscending="#{Results.ascending}">
 
        <t:column>
                <f:facet name="header">
                        <t:commandSortHeader columnName="nr">
                                <outputText value="nr" />
                        </t:commandSortHeader>
                </f:facet>
                <h:outputText value="#{user.nr}"/>
        </t:column>
        <t:column>
                <f:facet name="header">
                        <t:commandSortHeader columnName="status">
                                <h:outputText value="Status" />
                        </t:commandSortHeader>
                </f:facet>
                <h:outputText value="#{user.status}" />
        </t:column>
 
        ...
 
</t:dataTable>

Best regards,
