Sheet Sorting

In this example, the sortable attribute is 'true' for all columns. Notice, that there are negative periods.

<tc:column label="Name" sortable="true">

Name	Period (Days)	Discovery Year
Sun	0.0
Mercury	87.97
Venus	224.7
Earth	365.26

All columns in this sheet can be sorted. A custom sorting implementation is set. Now, the sign for period numbers is ignored by sorting.

<tc:sheet value="#{sheetController.solarList}" var="solarobject" rows="4" sortActionListener="#{sheetController.sheetSorter}"> <tc:column id="namecol" label="Name" sortable="true"> ...

Name	Period (Days)	Discovery Year
Sun	0.0
Mercury	87.97
Venus	224.7
Earth	365.26

With the attribute maxSortColumns it is possible to visualize more than one sorting column. In this example you can sort by 3 columns. It works by clicking the column header in the reverse order. It's also possible to use ascending and descanding orders mixed.

It is also possible to use this via the API from the application like the button below shows.
