It only works if i first type something on the filter and erase it.(It is like it needs to have at least one character on the filter to be able to sort correctly).

Row-editing worked fine with Primefaces 3.3 on Firefox 16.0.2 (which is end of line) on Mac OS X 10.5.8.

Then I can sort ascendingdescending within the filtered result.

Solution: Collect the list from the Database and keep it in a local List variable in the backing bean.

While the developer is fixing the problem, try using an older version.

If you need the previous version of Google Chrome, check out the apps version history which includes all versions available to download.

We wont tune PF to support bad practices but can change it a bit to support sorting for request scoped beans to retain sorting if you dont use view scope.

I am resuming discussing of this matter and invite feedback from the Primefaces team.

There is still a need to provide a solution, a way of working with the p:dataTable when using sorting and filtering, that is compatible with data fetched from database.

I am taking great care to only load the list of entities for the value list of the p:dataTable once for each ViewScoped ManagedBean.

Still I encounter the problem reported: - I load a ViewScoped page with a p:dataTable and with sortBy and filterBy in one column.

If I click on a p:column with sortBy and filterBy at first nothing happens.

I can click many times, nothing happens.

If I enter a single character into the filter, the filter works.

Thereafter the sorting works.

If I do not have the filterBy the sorting does not work at all, ever.

The reset() is there for previous use with this as a SessionScoped ManagedBean together with.

That is not needed for ViewScoped, but I include it for completeness because I referenced that solution in other posts.

I would appreciate it Primefaces support can explain what I have to change in my XHTML JSF Page or in my backing bean to make it work correctly together with the p:dataTable.

But we used PF 2.2.1 datatables with JPAHibernate and lazy loading sorting filters without big problems.

We used spring managed beans as services instead of EJBs but that shouldnt make a difference.

I would appreciate any further feedback from other users encountering the problem, and any resumption of investigation by the Primefaces team.

It is OK on Firefox 20.0 on Mac OS X 10.6.8 (both still supported).

There are a number of very strange problems on Firefox 16.0.2 (which is end of line) on Mac OS X 10.5.8 (also end of line), such as the edit icons appearing as pen, tick, cross and row editing not activating at all, the sort icon not appearing, and on sorting the column headers explode and are repeated strangely offset to the right of all column headers.

On Mac OS X 10.5.8 row editing and sortBy are both ok on Safari 5.0.6 and also Chrome 21.0.1180.90.

These tests were performed on Glassfish 3.1.1 (in Netbeans7.1).

It might be worth you starting a new Thread with code samples showing what you are doing and what you want to happen.

On an historical note PrimeFaces doesnt, nor has it any need to, provide support for Persistence Frameworks of any kind.

Extending the PrimeFaces LazyDataModel is what you need as a scalable solutions for displaying large data sets involving POJOs (which is essential what an Entity is) as Lists.

Any other help or assistance that can be provided will be best served in a new Thread.
