Processed rows in ADF Table are unsorted

Question

I have to process the selected rows of an ADF table programmatically. This is not so difficult, like in the [example |http://www.johnbrunswick.com/2011/08/adftable-get-selected-row-or-rows/] below.
But the rows are processes in a random, unsorted manner. I need them to be processed sorted as they appear on screen. I think I set all properties correctly, at least the data appear sorted on the view.
Beside the solution this problem seems to give interesting information about how the iterators work internally. Thanks in advance.
public String cbSelectMany_action() {
    // For learning purposes - show Select Many Button clicked
    System.out.println("Select Many Button has been Clicked");
    // RowKeySet Object can hold the selected rows from a user as follows
    RowKeySet rksSelectedRows =
        this.getTsupportIssues().getSelectedRowKeys();
    // Iterator object provides the ability to use hasNext(), next() and remove() against the selected rows
    Iterator itrSelectedRows = rksSelectedRows.iterator();
    // Get the data control that is bound to the table - e.g. OpenSupportItemsIterator
    DCBindingContainer bindings =
        (DCBindingContainer)BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
    DCIteratorBinding dcIteratorBindings =
        bindings.findIteratorBinding("OpenSupportItemsIterator");
    // Information from binding that is specific to the rows
    RowSetIterator rsiSelectedRows =
        dcIteratorBindings.getRowSetIterator();
    // Loop through selected rows
    while (itrSelectedRows.hasNext()) {
        // Get key for selected row
        Key key = (Key)((List)itrSelectedRows.next()).get(0);
        // Use the key to get the data from the above binding that is related to the row
        Row myRow = rsiSelectedRows.getRow(key);
        // Display attribute of row in console output - would generally be bound to a UI component like a Label and or used to call another proces
        System.out.println(myRow.getAttribute("IssueID"));
    return null;

Answer 1

Kai,
I don't think you can archive this without more coding, as the RowKeySet is a set which does not retain the order of the elements. So the solution would be to get the selected rows and then sort them as the table is currently sorted.
Happy coding
