sorting relation table in yii's view - yii

Question

I am trying sorting in cListView.. which works perfectly fine for me with the sorting attributes from the same table.. i want to know if its possible to sort based on the fields from a related table..
for example..
<?php $this->widget('zii.widgets.CListView', array(
'dataProvider'=>$dataProvider,
'itemView'=>'_viewnew',
'sortableAttributes'=>array(
'Code'
),
)); ?>
works fine..
but i wish to sort from another table field like this..
<?php $this->widget('zii.widgets.CListView', array(
'dataProvider'=>$dataProvider,
'itemView'=>'_viewnew',
'sortableAttributes'=>array(
'relation_name.Make'
),
)); ?>
this is what i have so far!! and doesn't work
In my model
/**
* #return array relational rules.
*/
public function relations()
{
// NOTE: you may need to adjust the relation name and the related
// class name for the relations automatically generated below.
return array(
'PMake'=>array(self::BELONGS_TO, 'PMake', 'ID'),
);
}
in my controller
public function actionIndex()
{
$dataProvider=new CActiveDataProvider('table1');
$criteria=new CDbCriteria;
$criteria->together=true;
$criteria->with=array('PMake');
$dataProvider->criteria=$criteria;
$dataProvider->sort->defaultOrder='PMake.Make ASC';
$this->render('index',array(
'dataProvider'=>$dataProvider,
));
}
in my view, the sort here is what i'm trying to get to work.
<?php
$this->widget('zii.widgets.CListView', array(
'dataProvider'=>$dataProvider,
'itemView'=>'_view',
'sortableAttributes' => array('PMake.Make'=>'Make'),
'loadingCssClass' => '', //remove loading icon
));
?>

Try This in Controller
public function actionIndex()
{
$dataProvider=new CActiveDataProvider('table1');
$criteria=new CDbCriteria;
$criteria->together=true;
$criteria->with=array('PMake');
//Made changes here
$criteria->order = 'PMake.Make ASC'
$dataProvider->criteria=$criteria;
$this->render('index',array(
'dataProvider'=>$dataProvider,
));
}
