Sort fields getting the best of me...

[Bastiaan Olij]

Hey Stefan,

Yeah but in there lies the problem don't it. I'm trying to encapsulate
the logic regarding a report inside of that report (and preferably
having all the nitty gritty stuff that is always the same in my base
class). That means I do all my additional setup in the $construct of the
report.

Besides, I'm using an instance variable inside the report that contains
the data, it doesn't exist yet before the report is constructed. I think
that is the whole problem with the sort field definition inside of the
report. It gets set when the report constructs but since the list at
that point in time is still undefined.... But I could be completely wrong.

It does seem to work though.. but its confusing the heck out of me.

Cheers,

Bas
