Hi,
the problem is I need to customize the filter function in our Document&Media Portlet.

Liferay orders the DLFileEntries by title, size, modifiedDate, etc.(5 options) I want to add to this order list the custom field which I introduced for DLFileEntries. To make so I need also to customize the core filter function which is used by the DM portlet. The end-user should get the correctly ordered items if he/she selects the order by the custom field.


What is the best way to customize it? Ext plugin? Liferay documentation says the ext plugin should only be used if absolutely necessary. 

Many thanks!

I created my Custom Comparator and did not need an Ext plugin
