I can't sort dataTable in primefaces 3.5

I want to sort a dataTable in primefaces 3.5. When I click on the column header - it seems to be clicked clicked (the background and the arrow changes its colour) - but the table is not sorting. Here's my code:

Bean (I also tried putting the code from @PostConstruct to the constructor, but then I get NullPointerException):

package view;

import entity.Klient;
import facade.KlientFacade;
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import javax.annotation.PostConstruct;
import javax.ejb.EJB;
import javax.inject.Named;
import javax.enterprise.context.Dependent;
import javax.faces.bean.ViewScoped;
import static util.Messages.addFlashMessage;

@Named(value = "manageClient")
@Dependent
@ViewScoped
public class ManageClient implements Serializable {

    private List<Klient> clientList;
    @EJB
    private KlientFacade klientFacade;

    public List<Klient> returnClientList(){
        return getKlientFacade().findAll();
    }

    @PostConstruct
    public void init(){
        clientList = new ArrayList<>();
        clientList = returnClientList();
    }

    public ManageClient() {

    }

    public String removeClient(Klient klient){
        addFlashMessage("Klient ["+klient.getLogin()+"] został usunięty.");
        getKlientFacade().remove(klient);
        return "manage";
    }

    public List<Klient> getClientList() {
        return clientList;
    }

    public void setClientList(List<Klient> clientList) {
        this.clientList = clientList;
    }

    public KlientFacade getKlientFacade() {
        return klientFacade;
    }

    public void setKlientFacade(KlientFacade klientFacade) {
        this.klientFacade = klientFacade;
    }
}

xhtml:

<p:dataTable paginator="true" rows="10" var="klient" value="#{manageClient.clientList}">
                            <p:column sortBy="#{klient.idKlienta}" headerText="ID">

                                <h:outputText value="#{klient.idTypu.typ}" />
                            </p:column>

                            </p:column>
                        </p:dataTable>

EDIT: When I put the code from @PostConstruct to the constructor, I get NullPointerException, stack trace:

I simplified your problem in order to get a compilable and testable SSCCE example which works perfectly for me and runs in a basic servlet container (Mojarra JSF impl 2.1.25, Primefaces 3.5 and Tomcat 7). I changed some of your annotations because I don't have a Java EE container or CDI available. That's what works for me:

index.xhtml

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
    xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
    xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
    xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
    xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui">

<h:head>
</h:head>
<h:body>
    <f:view>
        <h:form>
            <p:dataTable paginator="true" rows="10" var="klient"
                value="#{manageClient.clientList}">

                <p:column sortBy="#{klient.imie}" headerText="Imię">
                    <h:outputText value="#{klient.imie}" />
                </p:column>

                <p:column sortBy="#{klient.login}" headerText="Login">
                    <h:outputText value="#{klient.login}" />
                </p:column>
            </p:dataTable>
        </h:form>
    </f:view>

</h:body>
</html>

ManageClient.java

package com.mycompany;

import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;

import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.ViewScoped;

@ManagedBean
@ViewScoped
public class ManageClient implements Serializable {

    //Created my own Klient class which only has two properties
    public class Klient {
        private String imie;

        private String login;

        public String getImie() {
            return imie;
        }

        public void setImie(String imie) {
            this.imie = imie;
        }

        public String getLogin() {
            return login;
        }

        public void setLogin(String login) {
            this.login = login;
        }
    }

    private List<Klient> clientList;

    public List<Klient> returnClientList() {
        //changed your data access object by my own list
        Klient k = new Klient();
        k.setImie("imi1");
        k.setLogin("log1");
        Klient k2 = new Klient();
        k2.setImie("-imi1");
        k2.setLogin("-log1");
        return Arrays.asList(k, k2);

    }

    public ManageClient() {
        clientList = new ArrayList<Klient>();
        clientList = returnClientList();
    }

    public String removeClient(Klient klient) {
        return "manage";
    }

    public List<Klient> getClientList() {
        return clientList;
    }

    public void setClientList(List<Klient> clientList) {
        this.clientList = clientList;
    }
}

Which basically suggests the problem is not about Primefaces in this case. I tested it with latest versions of FF, Chrome and IE. If you're working with previous versions that could be the problem, Primefaces 3.5 is no longer supporting IE 7 for example.
