[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (RF-2916) Table Sorting + Pagination - make using these features together possible

Subba Ayyagari commented on RF-2916:
------------------------------------

The sorting functionality in rich:dataTable is very restrictive. I would like to see something very similar to the sortProperty in tomohawk dataTable. This approach lets me grab the sortProperty and use it fetch the "page" results in the sorted order from the database itself. This is very critical for large datasets. Thanks

> Both sorting and pagination has most utility when working with large data sets. So why allowing thhem to work together has been skipped? Documentations has short sentence "Sorting could not be used together with pagination. Only row that currently on the client could be sorted" and my teammate noticed strange behavior of these two geatures when used together (paging ceased to working after some different sorting actions).
> I bet it's not because it's impossible (AFAIR you have example data models implementations which can work with Hibernate-managed paging).
