JXTable multiple column sorting

Published on

Tonight I fixed Glazed Lists Issue 365 by adding multiple-column sorting support for JXTable. The new code works just fine but I think users will still be better off with the TableComparatorChooser approach for a handful of reasons:

  • it's more programmable
  • the right icons for each look and feel
  • multiple comparators for a single column (like iTunes 7's Album column!)
  • easy sorting state persistence using Strings
  • more flexible behaviour, with multiple column sorting done via mouse-only or mouse-and-keyboard

    Swinglabs is a big-name Swing project and it'll do Glazed Lists users well to have tight bindings for that project.
