Pete Muir commented on JBSEAM-1228:
-----------------------------------

I can see there are some useful cases, but I'm really not sure that this is a good feature to add 

OTOH it would be cool to have have hooks in s:selectItems to support something like:

<s:selectItems ...>
   <my:sortList ... />
</s:selectItems>

and

<s:selectItems ... comparator="#{foo.comparator}" />

and perhaps include a 

<s:simpleSort direction="{ASC,DESC}" value="#{person.lastName}, #{person.firstName}" />

> The attached patch adds a sort option to <s:selectItems>, that allows the entries to be sorted by their label.
> Example:
> <h:selectOneMenu value="#{person.honorific}">
>     <s:selectItems value="#{honorifics}" var="honorific" label="#{honorific.label}" noSelectionLabel="Please select" sort="ascending" />
>     <s:convertEnum />
> </h:selectOneMenu>
> This version has not been tested in depth (especially interactions with "noSelectionLabel"), but I've been using similar code in our project (based upon Seam SelectItems 1.1.1beta1) for some time now and not encountered any problems.
