Workaround

To determine whether the "Sort & Filter on Headers" setting is enabled, use one of the following methods:
  • View the page in a browser. If the setting is enabled, you can use the headers to filter and sort columns.
  • View the code file. If the setting is enabled, the following XSLT template name is added to the code file:
    <xsl:template name="dvt.headerfield">
    Note When you click to select the check box, the correct XSLT template is inserted into the page to enable the "Sort & Filter on Headers" setting. If you click the check box again, the XSLT template is removed to disable the setting.
