Thanks Simon,
This problem is really driving me crazy, I have compared everything with the
myfaces examples and with what you mention in the link and I am doing what
is suggested.
Here is part of my xhtml code:
<t:dataTable id="resultsData"
headerClass="searchResultHeaders"
rowClasses="searchResult1,searchResult2"
var="row"
value="#{searchResultsBean.rowData}"
sortColumn="#{searchResultsBean.sort}"
sortAscending="#{searchResultsBean.ascending}" preserveSort="true"
rows="10"
width="100%"
cellspacing="0"
cellpadding="0"
border="0">
<t:columns id="columns"
value="#{searchResultsBean.columnHeaders}" var="columnHeader">
<f:facet name="header">
<h:panelGroup>
<t:commandSortHeader
columnName="#{columnHeader.label}"
arrow="false" styleClass="searchResultHeaders"
rendered="#{columnHeader.clickable}">
<f:facet
name="ascending">
<t:graphicImage value="/pages/images/arrows_orderby_asc.gif"
rendered="true" border="0" />
</f:facet>
<f:facet
name="descending">
<t:graphicImage value="/pages/images/arrows_orderby_desc.gif"
rendered="true" border="0" />
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{columnHeader.label}"/>
</t:commandSortHeader>
<h:outputText
value="#{columnHeader.label}" rendered="#{!columnHeader.clickable}" />
</h:panelGroup>
</f:facet>
..........................
My Bean is extending from SortableList as the examples do, etc. The very
strange thing here is that it was working a couple days ago perfectly and I
did a couple of changes and its not working anymore (The worst of all is
that it isn´t under Version Control so I don´t have the previous working
version). I am comparing one table that works perfectly with this one and I
have found that in the one that works perfect the InvokeApplication phase
always gets executed meanwhile in the one that has problems this phase is
getting skipped. Also, in the bad one the column name that I get is always
empty ("") meanwhile in the other one it is the respective column name.
Simon, any insights either to the problem or to how to diagnose it better
would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
JV

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:
