Okay. I've given the method a new name and it is working perfectly
now. I'm assuming that this applies to filtering the array of
related objects as well. Yes?
BTW, did I miss something in the documentation where it tells you
not to override these? I have several WO books as well, and while
the examples always show using a separate method, they don't say
it's required.
I would suggest that you have an issue with separating your data and
your presentation. WebObjects is very much built to use Model-View-
Controller methodologies. If you think of your sorting problem as a
display issue, easier solutions may present themselves. I think that
this is why the EOSortOrdering functionality is so abstract. It makes
it easy to not sort until display time.
Of course, there are things that are awkward about this also. A lot
of them have to do with the fact that the code for working in this
way is very concise in Objective C. Having translated this mechanism
to java, one has to do more casting and "grunt work" than seems
necessary.

Thanks again for the help everyone!

There are assumptions made about the array returned via KVC, and
you are breaking those assumptions by reordering an array that EOF
thinks it owns.
