The following should work

1. Create a view data source
2. Create a repeat control and refrence the view data source (view data source must be outside the repeat)
3. Make the columns in your view sortable

4. create a few links in the xpage for sorting, when clicking these links you can set a scoped variable that is used in the view data source "SortColumn" property

the result is that if you click one of the link you change the sortColumn of the view data source and the repeat is updated accordingly

hope it helps

Thomas

Very clever.

I have had to provide similar solutions but had not thought of attacking it your way.

works great but how about both sorting options for a column?

Hej Thomas,

this approach works fine, except in case I want to have both sorting options for a column, how can I establish this?

(I can set a similar sortOrder for the viewdata, but value "both" does not give me so much)
