sorting an adf table

[Daniel Conner]

I have an editable table with editable fields and read only fields as well. On each column I have sort set to true and the sort property set to the corresponding field. When I open the page and click on a header, one of two things happens:

1) If the column is read only(which there are two read only columns), that column will be sorted, but the whole row will not be sorted. All of the editable fields remain to be the same value as they were when the page initially opened. The names of the two read only columns are "Name" and "Description". When name is sorted, description is changed accordingly. When description is sorted, name is changed accordingly.

2) If the column is not read only, nothing happens when clicking on the header to sort it.

I checked on the internet for some resources. Frank Nimphius had posted a blog about this problem and how to fix it using business components. Im not using business components. Any help would be great. Thanks.
