[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (RF-8469) Sorting of rich:dataTable is still not working in 3.3.2.SR1

[Leonid Sokolin (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-8469?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12518712#action_12518712 ] 

Leonid Sokolin commented on RF-8469:
------------------------------------

We want to use vector here, because the output should come out in the same order as specified by users in the input request. I don't think, it is worthwhile to make changes in application logic to accommodate the problem with sorting. 

As for request scope, I suspected that it might be the case as well, but not sure then why export to Excel and PDF functions in the same page work fine. They also rely on the availability of the same data:

<a4j:commandLink id="expExcel"
					action="#{piQueryToolOutputBeanPR.statOutData.genWorkBook}" immediate="false"
					oncomplete="doDownload('file/abcd?filename=PerformanceReturns_' + #{piQueryToolOutputBeanPR.statOutData.randNum} + '.xls')">
					<h:graphicImage value="images/Excel-16.gif" style="border:0"/>
				</a4j:commandLink>

Are you saying that while bean data maybe available, page data no longer is, if the scope is "request only"? This is unfortunate. 

BTW, I was trying to imitate the logic you provide in the demo example, but it has no mentioning of request scope limitation.

 <rich:column sortBy="#{cap.state}">
            <f:facet name="header">
                <h:outputText value="State Name"/>
            </f:facet>
            <h:outputText value="#{cap.state}"/>
        </rich:column> 

Do you think it is a fundamental problem that couldn't be addressed? In this case, we definitely couldn't use table sorting after this page has been generated.

Still, please let me know after the fix is applied to 3.3.2.SR1 and I will try to test it.
