how client-side presentation code interacts with server-side
sorting/filter code?

I have a html table that has sorting and filter capabilities. The
sorting and filter features
are done by server side Java code. When the user clicks the icon, it
should trigger
the javascript onClick event, and then to submit the request to the
server and get the
new table. The question is how client-side code talk to server-side
code? I know
this is a very common question, and there should be a common technique
to this problem.

please advise. thanks!!

There certainly is! It's often called the MVC (Model View Controller)
model. You click on the page controls and it sends a message to the
controller which then informs the view as to how it should present
the data in the underlying model. A common implementation is available
in the Struts framework.
Or perhaps you were asking something else?
