Here is what I am running into...
<h3>Code</h3>:
<display:table>
<display:column title="Person Name" sortable="true">
<html:link action="/myaction?id=${uid.id}&nav=open" >${uid.name}</html:link>
</display:column
</display:table>
Now the above code generates exactly what I want.
<h3>Output</h3>:
<table>
<tr>
<th><a href="/myaction.do?d-1345720-p=1&d-1345720-s=1&d-1345720-o=2">Person Name</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><a href="/myaction.do?id=11&nav=open">John Doe</a><td>
</tr>
</table>
<h3>Problem</h3>:
However, when I sort on the Person Name column, the order is not in the order of the actual value, but instead it gets ordered
by the <a href=".."> tag. So, if I have a person's name that is William but his id is 1 and Smith id is 2 then William will show up
before Smith.
I have been using displaytag for a while and have been using the property which must default to the sorting field if no sortProperty is given. The reason was asking I am acutally using a custom jsp tag, to combine fields and the property does not allow this. From now on sortProperty it is...
thanks

Howdy,
From what I read, it seems similar to what I encountered last year. Here's the thread in question: https://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1890052&forum_id=249318
The solution was to use the sortProperty property, but you can get a more detailed explanation if you follow the above link.
kr,
*sortProperty attribute, of course.
