If you set the listbox datasource using the datasources attribute then sorting
with sortResource and sortDirection works fine. However if you user "rdf:null"
as the datasources attribute and set the datasource afterwards using
AddDataSource programmatically, the same data is displayed but it is not sorted.


Reproducible: Always

I haven't managed to make a reduced testcase for the problem I'm seeing yet, but
in my attempt I came across this problem with listbox sorting that is possibly
related/caused by the same thing.

If you go to the url you will see a listbox. The first time you visit the
listbox is not sorted. Clicking refresh sorts it. Then you have to restart
firefox before it will appear unsorted again.

I suspect synch vs asynch foo and observing changes in datasources.

[Neil Deakin]

Need an updated testcase here. The link isn't working.

Is this still an issue with current Firefox build? If so, please specify what is needed from QA here. An updated URL would also help speed things up.

I have no idea what QA is needed here nor do I have the code anymore to see if it still fails
