Is there an easy way to have a DataTable column sort descending the first
time it is clicked on? The code in OrderByLink does the following:
protected SortOrder nextSortOrder(final SortOrder order)
{
// init / flip order
if (order == SortOrder.NONE)
{
return SortOrder.ASCENDING;
}
else
{
return order == SortOrder.ASCENDING ? SortOrder.DESCENDING :
SortOrder.ASCENDING;
}
}
The first time it is NONE, so it changes to ASCENDING. This is the desired
outcome in most use cases, but not one I am working on. I think I can
override this, but it's ugly since I'd have to go through
OrderByLinkBorder, HeadersToolbar and to Datatable. Just wondering if
there's a cleaner and/or easier way.
