I need to be able to sort Date columns and they need to be i18n. I can certainly use jstl fmt to get them into i18n, but then sorting will fail.

If I use a ColumnDecorator, I cannot access the Locale because it or the request is not sent as an argument, so it will sort correctly but I can not i18n it.

I'm using displaytag withing Struts.

Any ideas?

TIA,
Mike

  Do u have a example of how to use <formatDate>and sortProperty to sort date. I am not sure of what code to write.
  
  Thanks

  You can use the <fmt:formatDate> w/in a <display:column> tag and use a "sortProperty" attribute to make sorting work properly.

    I totally missed the sortProperty attribute.
    
    Thanks much,
