SortLink
General Description
The sortLink component enables the user to sort a dataset by clicking an HTML link. The component must be a child of a data component. It is generally contained inside a header facet component within a column component. It automatically handles sorting of the appropriate data type for the column bean getter method it is bound too. The control displays a small clickable icon to indicate sorting direction and the direction of sorting can be toggled by clicking the icon. The component does not require any developer intervention and therefore does not provide action command listeners.
