Sorting on large data-set [message #1794726]

Sorting on NatTable with large set of data (10,000 rows) is slow. It hangs on to the UI thread for quite a bit to complete the operation.
Is there any better alternative to handle scenarios like this? Any ideas or leads are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Are you using GlazedLists? The performance there should be quite good from my experience.

Hello Dirk, thank you very much for replying. Yes, we are using GlazedList. Here is more details of our use case. We have around 22K rows in that table.
If we sort without any group-by(s), it sorts with in a second.
But, if we add any group-by column (s), it does take considerable amount of time. The most of the time is consumed by glazedlists.groupBy.GroupByComparator.compare(). I don't see anyway to avoid it.
Can you please provide your input in this case? Any suggestion is highly helpful. Thanks again in advance.

a) What means "considerable time"?
b) Which version of NatTable are you using?
c) Do you use the groupBy summary feature?
d) Do you call GroupByDataLayer#initializeTreeComparator() with the correct values?
e) If you think there is an issue with the GroupByComparator you can exchange it with some custom comparator via GroupByDataLayer#setComparator() or contribute a fixed version with better performance.

Hello Dirk, apologies for very late response.

I wanted to answer your questions.
a) What means "considerable time"? - More than 30 secs
b) Which version of NatTable are you using? - 1.4
c) Do you use the groupBy summary feature? - Yes
d) Do you call GroupByDataLayer#initializeTreeComparator() with the correct values? - I am not sure what's "Correct Values"
e) If you think there is an issue with the GroupByComparator you can exchange it with some custom comparator via GroupByDataLayer#setComparator() or contribute a fixed version with better performance. -

I am exploring the option of writing custom comparator, thank you for the suggestion. Based up on my answer, is there anything else you suggest.

Thanks again for answering my questions, happy weekend.
