Portlet Factory, Version 6.1.2
Sort builder
Use the Sort builder to add the ability for the user to sort the columns displayed on a page in the model. The first time the table on which the Sort builder call operates gets displayed, the data is unsorted. The first click on the sort link rearranges the data in ascending order (low value to high value); a second click on the sort link rearranges the data in descending order (high value to low value).
The Sort builder works in conjunction with the following builders:
- Dynamic Table
- Data Page
- Repeated Region
- Data View
Each of these builders adds a table to a page and you can specify a column heading or another named tag on the page on which the Sort builder places a link to sort the specified column.
Note: If you do plan to use a Data Page builder and want to add sorting to a table, consider implementing sort capability with a Data Column Modifier builder rather than with a Sort builder. The advantage the Data Column Modifier builder provides is that it allows you to add sorting to multiple columns with a single builder.

The builder call editor allows you to specify all the input values to a builder call.
- Locating control builder calls on pages
Each page location technique results in the generation of a Page Location string that determines on what pages, and where on those pages, the control builder calls are added.
- Sort builder inputs
This topic describes the inputs for the Sort builder.
- Data Column Modifier builder
Use the Data Column Modifier builder to modify a table column created by the Data Page builder.
