David, Thanks so much for responding as I've not yet got this figured out.
To answer your first question, no I am not using capitals in my displaytag parameters. Actually I am not using poNum to sort on but the reqNumLink that is in my decorator. The reqNumLink is a string. Here is my display:table tag in my jsp page: <display:table sort="list" name="actionBean.results" decorator="org.texashealth.scm.displaytag.decorator.SCMTableDecorator" pagesize="50" requestURI="/reqs/Search.action" class="reqList" defaultsort="2" defaultorder="ascending"> <display:column property="reqNumLink" title="Req #" sortable="true" defaultorder="ascending" class="reqNum"/> <display:column property="poNum" title="PO #" class="poNum"/> <display:column property="delivrToDeptCode" title="Del" class="del"/> <display:column property="chrgToDeptCode" title="Chg" class="chg"/> <display:column property="srceLocation" title="Src" class="src"/> <display:column property="purchDeptCode" title="Pur" class="pur"/> <display:column property="recStatus" title="St" class="st"/> <display:column property="createdBy" title="Created By" class="created"/> <display:column property="assignedTo" title="Assign To" class="assigned"/> <display:column property="reqTypeValue" title="Typ" class="typ"/> <display:column property="vendorCatNum" title="Vendor Cat #" class="vnd"/> <display:column property="itemNum" title="Item #" class="item"/> </display:table> Here is the code in my decorator for the reqNumLink column where which I am trying to sort on: public String getReqNumLink() { final SearchResults reqValues = (SearchResults) getCurrentRowObject(); final String reqNum = reqValues.getReqNum().trim(); final String entity = reqValues.getEntityCode().trim(); if (reqValues.isNonStock()) return "<a href = \"/reqs/NonStock.action?view=&reqNum=" + reqNum + "&entityCode=" + entity + "\">" + reqNum + "</a>"; else if (reqValues.isNonStockCredit()) return "<a href = \"/reqs/NonStock.action?viewCredit=&reqNum=" + reqNum + "&entityCode=" + entity + "\">" + reqNum + "</a>"; return reqNum; } Your help is very much appreciated.

Is poNum a String or a Number? Do you have something in your decorator concerning poNum? > -----Original Message----- I am so sorry to have posted such a long email before. I tried one solution given by David earlier adding to the DISPLAYTABLE tag DEFAULTORDER="1" and DISPLAYSORT="ASCENDING". But this did not help my problem and the sorting is still a problem. I also added DEFAULTORDER to my column tag that is set to sortable="true" but still to no avail. I know I must be missing a setting somewhere. ANY HELP or DIRECTION would be greatly appreciated.
