[PJUG Javamail] JSF question making sort on tomahawk t:dataTable case-insensitive

[Michael Phoenix]

We are currently using JSF 1.1 for our UI and we want the table below
to be able to sort alphabetically, but case-insensitive. I haven't
found much with Google, so I was hoping for some help here. If you
know of a good JSF forum where I would have a decent chance of getting
help on this or happen any suggestions on how to approach this
problem, I'd be really grateful.
