Method Detail

sort

void sort(int column,
          boolean ascending)

Sort the table model using the given column. Once this method has been called the table model should reorder its rows so that they are sorted using the given column. The table model should generate appropriate change events to reflect any changes made to the model as a result of the sort. If the table data is modified after sort has been called, the table model should continue to sort the data using the given column.

Parameters:

column - The index of the column to sort on, or UNSORTED if no sort is necessary.

ascending - If true sort in ascending order, else sort in descending order.

isSortAscending

boolean isSortAscending()

getSortOnColumn
