Provide a selfSorted attribute on dataTable in addition to column
-----------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: RF-4412
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-4412
             Project: RichFaces
          Issue Type: Feature Request
    Affects Versions: 3.2.1
         Environment: RichFaces 3.2.1; Seam 2.0 GA
            Reporter: Chris Simons
            Priority: Minor


I am using "selfSorted" in conjunction with "sortBy" to build sortable rich:dataTables; in our application, we are using "selfSorted" with an EL expression to essentially disable sorting when the page is viewed in a "print" mode (set via a parameter).  When in this "print" mode, we are disabling the sorting columns.

The idea behind this Feature Request is to provide the same functionality of selfSorted at the rich:dataTable level.  This way, the dataTable would figure out which columns have a sortBy expression and enable/disable them according to the value of the selfSorted expression.

This would be nice so that the selfSorted expression does not have to be repeated for each sortable column.

At the dataTable level, selfSorted would be ignored for any column that does not contain a sortExpression or sortBy.
