Hi Ken, I'm in a similar situation. All I can tell you is that the sortCriterion is the column name, as defined in your display:column tag in the jsp, like so
sortProperty="whatever_you_want_to_call_it" There is also sortName field which the doc' seems to suggest you should use. I found this didnt work but sortProperty did. You then just have a sortCritrion String in your PaginatedList Implementation with a set and implemented get. The tag does the rest. You don't need to worry about the searchId, just leave that to return a null. As for the getSortDirection() this is where I'm stuck! You need to return a SortOrderEnum object , either SortOrderEnum.ASCENDING or .DESCENDING. However, I don't see how displayTag alternates this. Try just having a SortOrderEnum field in your paginatedList implementation and just let the get and set get or set it. DisplayTag should really deal with alternating the direction. You'll see the sort=asc or sort=desc in the request when you mouse over the column title spin button. I only ever see one, which suggests the direction isnt being alternated. Keep us updated on your progress, I've yet to hear from anyone who has got sorting working for PaginatedList implementations. Regards, John.
