[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (RF-4371) Faster sorting on dataTable

Faster sorting on dataTable --------------------------- Key: RF-4371 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-4371 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Feature Request Affects Versions: 3.2.0.SR1 Environment: Windows XP SP3, Firefox 3.0.1 Reporter: Rok Koncina Fix For: Wishes The sorting of column(s) in dataTable is very slow, if you have a lot of data - e.g. 6 columns and 1000 rows. That amount of data take more than one minute to sort. By that I mean the time from the click on the sort icon, to the finish of loading the page with sorted table. In that time, there is nothing that would tell me, that sorting is in process. (like an hourglass, or something else) I also noticed that sorting takes place on the server. It would be nice, if there was a feature that would enable client-side sorting, so the application wouldn't load the server unless necessary.
