orbeon forms viewer summary table sort

This is my first post, so if I am breaking some forum rules, I'll apologize up front....sorry.

My question:  Is it possible to setup the forms-runner summary table to be sortable by clicking the column header?

Kevin,

Short answer: sorting is currently not supported on the summary page.

Long answer: however, this wouldn't be too hard to do:

* The summary page uses the fr:datatable component which supports
"external sorting". In this case this means that the sorting would be
done in the database, as we don't want to pull down all the data and
then sort it in the middle tier. So we would need to enable the
external sorting.
* We have a sort-key as part of the search API, it is only supported
in the eXist persistence layer. So we would need to implement the
support for the sort-key in the Oracle and MySQL persistence layer.
