Alternately alternately … :-) You could use an Enum instead of a string for your row color. Then you not only get enum's typesafe awesomeness, but you could sort by the ordinal.
public enum RowColor {
NONE, GREEN, RED, GOLD;
}
I covered how to use an enum with the ERD2WEditToOneRelationship component in
my WOWODC 2010 presentation. The presentation is available on the WOCommunity
podcast titled "D2W Custom Assignments and Component Design"
The sample project is available on Github:
