Regards to all,

One week ago I had my commandSortHeader working perfectly until all of a sudden it just stopped ordering. I haven´t done any change neither to the xhtml page nor to the bean, and I am really having a tough time trying to decipher how is this component´s operation in order to proceed with some debugging. This whole ordering stuff is really “sui-generis”, ‘cause it seems to work without the conventional action paradigm or at least I don’t see nowhere where the action invocation takes place. My specific problem is that I am not receiving on the bean the column name clicked by the user. In summary I have 2 questions that can really help me solve this issue:

   1. Why can´t the column be arriving at the sort function of the
      bean? (This is probably too difficult to answer as it implies
      multiple possibilities)
   2. Can anyone explain me the basic operating mechanism used by the
      commandSortHeader component or redirect me to somewhere where it
      is explained?

Are you aware of the myfaces wiki?
http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces

This page in particular may be useful:
http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces/Working_with_auto_sortable_tables

Hmm..actually, after reading that Working_with_auto_sortable_tables page, I'm not sure that first example is correct. I could be wrong, as it's a while since I last wrote a sortable table but I don't remember anything that automatally invokes a method with signature
 public String sort(String column)

Here's a link to an earlier email discussion on table sorting that may be useful: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/myfaces-users/200601.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
