Thanks for the reply Filip. I have bound the zone parameter on the form like 
this:

        <form t:type="form" t:id="resort" t:zone="lor">
                <t:label for="sortType"/>:
                <select t:type="select" t:id="sortType" t:validate="required"/>
                <br/>
                <input type="submit" t:type="submit" t:id="resortButton" 
value="Resort"/>
        </form>

        <t:actionLink t:zone="lor" t:context="literal:oldestFirst">oldest 
first</t:actionLink>

The action link works in an Ajax way, but the form submit doesn't. The even 
handlers are:

        Object onSubmit() {
                results.resort(sortType.name());        // sortType is the enum 
bound to the select box.
                return lor;
        }

        Object onAction(String st) {
                results.resort(st);
                return lor;
        }

The form submit does the resort, but refreshes the entire page. I just can't 
figure this out.
