And George, the displayedObjects() binding did the trick. That is
odd. I've always use allObjects() and never paid any attention to
displayedObjects(). In about two sentences, can you define the
difference, other than one supports a sort and one does not.
Ah, good hint to the answer. allObjects() contains all objects
fetched. So if a fetch spec was used and it specified sorting, the
sorting would be done on the DB with allObjects() containing the
objects specified in the order specified.
displayedObjects() contains allObjects() filtered by any local
qualifier, sort order, etc. So the display group config panel in
WOBuilder must apply a local sort ordering; i.e., sorting is done on
the DB client, not on the DB server.
If performance is an issue, sorting on the DB server may be faster
than on the DB client. But at least you have an option of sorting on
either system.
