Specifying a default sort order along with allowing the user to change
the sort order is a good idea.
By "normal" do you mean no sorting at all? If so that is a good
default. In other words there is no sorting on that field unless the
user clicks on an arrow in the header to select ascending or descending.

Bilgin,
so it seems we are OK with:
1) having the attribute boolean like it is now
2) if a entry-name is specified us this instead of name as sortField
3) David suggests also to have the sort-field attribute true by
default to
have this automatically show up everywhere. I agree with this but in
order
to have it working we need to have a default for the asc/desc/normal
styles
as well.
Are we ok to have the styles set by default to: sortorder-asc,
sortorder-desc, sortorder ?
Bilgin, could I try to update your patch or you are already on that
way?

David E. Jones commented on OFBIZ-1943:
---------------------------------------
Changing it to a String adds a fair bit of complexity, and makes
defaulting
to "true" more difficult... though you could default to the field-
name it is
more difficult to represent and such.
I really don't see the point of being able to sort a certain column
by a
field other than what is in the column. If someone has a specific
scenario
in mind lets discuss how to accomplish that scenario. Otherwise
keep it
simple so it is easier to use, more commonly used, and doesn't have
features
that are not grounded in an actual requirement.
It would be great to keep this super-simple and set the default to
true so
that this capability shows up everywhere.

Hi,
I would like to submit, to be reviewed, what I have done to
implement
sortable columns in multi and list forms.
I wonder if there is a simpler and better solution that could, for
instance, be implemented in the form widget itself requiring less
code in
the xml file.
To be reviewed I implemented the sortable column in the FindExample
Screen.
This solution requires a little change in the framework (included
in the
patch). Basically the header-link-style attribute of the field tag
needs to
be parsed by FlexibleStringExpander in order to be used with a ${}.
Two little arrow-up and arrow-down icons are also attached, those
are
shown close to the field name indicating which is the sorted column
and the
sort order.
Thank you for reviewing,
Bruno
