I need to modify a Notes legacy web view in the existing application. The view is embedded in a page and accessed by web browser. It looks the column sorting is not available in this case. I confirmed it is available in pure view(not embedded view). In this case, is there any good solution? I think one of solution is simply to prepare two sorting views and a user chooses from outline or clicking button to change the view. But I'd like to know if there is more good solutions.
What version of Notes/Domino is this web legacy application running on? That will help us give you the best answer based on the version you're running.
Since you're running 9.0.1 you do have a variety of options including XPages. Since XPages is not an option for you, please explore the other available options from the link below on IBM's site: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSVRGU_8.5.3/com.ibm.designer.domino.main.doc/H_EMBEDDING_A_VIEW_OR_NAVIGATOR.html
I think that you'll find embedding the Java view applet a very simple and effective alternative that requires very little development skill. It also gives the sorting options that you are needing. Here's a link with additional info on this option: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSVRGU_8.5.3/com.ibm.designer.domino.main.doc/H_VIEW_APPLET.html
