Subject: Re: Logic:Iterate:sort, what do you think? From: "Andrej" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> === Michael,
this may be a useless note, but if you want to sort a Collection, you can use the Comparable interface then the Collection.sort() method. IMHO, sorting is a "process" and should theoretically not be handled by the JSP (ie the "view"). In other words, the Collection that you send to the view should already be sorted. But I know it doesn't answer your question.. :) Andrej "Michael Marrotte" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > I'm looking for sorting support for the Struts Logic Iterate tag.
