(Tomahawk) DataTable sort question

Question

Hello,
I'm showing the system properties on a webpage. The backing bean simply returns a list of entries (java.util.Map.Entry) which are shown by a t:datatable (backing bean has request scope).
So now that they are there, I'd like to have them sorted one way or another. I don't know how to use the sortColumn attribute in this case, perhaps I'll need to sort them in the backing bean instead?
Thanks,
Dave

Hi!
you dont need to stor in the been.
you can do it in the jsp page like this: (using DataTable from RichFaces)
<rich:extendedDataTable  sortPriority="#{spot.startTimeForTable}"
               value="#{scheduleResultBean.lspotsOnDate}" var="spot" id="spots"
               rowClasses="#{spot.statusName}" >
               <rich:column sortBy="#{spot.rating}" filterBy="#{spot.rating}"
                    filterEvent="onkeyup" label="Rating" >
                    <f:facet name="header">
                         <h:outputText value="Rating" />
                    </f:facet>
                    <h:outputText value="#{spot.rating}">
                    </h:outputText>
               </rich:column>
</rich:extendedDataTable>I'd like to hear if it helped you to!
