Sorting datable breaks select values

Hi,

I am using the fr:datable XBL wizard and after I sort the table, the
select I have refers to data in the original sort order.  I have
tried using variables and index() and I get some different results --
basically other problems.

The interface is GMail like, with select controls created in a repeat
element block. I have a example for the sandbox, it has most of my
original code, hopefully not too complicated.

Anyone else using the datable like this?

Thanks,
Hank

Thank you Alex.

Excellent. 

I was unable, however, to code a solution that does not
utilize xxform:variable -- good for Orbeon, possibly an
issue for XForms ( or my coding skills).

Best,
Hank
