To generate some kind of alphabetical list you need to access ALL rows in DataModel at least once. Such scroller would completely kill any performance if working with large tables (i.e. with buffered DataModel in background, which fetchs only the current page of data from DB) Regards, paul Strittmatter, Stephan schrieb: > Hm, > > yes, alphabetically grouping is not balanced than the row numbers. > Sorting is another issue also.
