Remote sorting with t:dataTable

[Cosma Colanicchia]

Hello,

I use the t:dataTable component with a custom-made DataModel. I need sorting, but I want my list back-end to do the work.. is there a way to use the standard sort attributes of t:dataList and make the component "notify" my backing bean of the user actions, instead of actually sort the rows?

I've managed to make the table sortable but using hand-made commandLinks around the column headers and t:updateActionListener components.. not a very good design IMO and a lot of repetitive typing in my jsp pages.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions
