JTable Sorting 1

[Miros]

Could someone point me to some sample code which allows to user to sort a JTable?

Google for "JTable sort" throws loads of links. One promising :

Thanks much! Looking at all the methods for the Sorter class, I just couldn't tell which ones I really needed.

Ahh ... the joys of a good google

Next horrid question...

These are my imports, which are the same ones in the sample program, plus a few for other uses:
import java.awt.event.* ;
import java.awt.* ;
import javax.swing.* ;
import javax.swing.table.* ;
import java.io.* ;
import java.net.* ;
import java.util.regex.* ;
import javax.swing.table.AbstractTableModel ;

I still get an error at compile time:
"cannot find symbol class TableSorter"

This is where I got stuck before, and assumed I was doing something fundamentally wrong. Since I now know it's fundamentally right, I'm completely confused!

I have terrible luck with finding code samples using Google... no idea why, or I'd do things a little differently and actually _find_ what I want!

Here's the full text of my error messages:

TableSorter sorter = new TableSorter(new TSRTableModel());

Note: Recompile with -Xlint:unchecked for details.

In the link I gave you, there are a few additional classes with the example. The links are in the web page. For example, the TableSorter class is :

I have pasted together brute force a list of imports from all the sorting programs on that page.

import javax.swing.* ;
import javax.swing.table.* ;
import java.io.* ;
import java.net.* ;
import java.util.regex.* ;
import javax.swing.table.AbstractTableModel ;
import javax.swing.table.TableModel ;
import javax.swing.table.* ;

// try 1
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.util.List;

import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.TableModelEvent;
import javax.swing.event.TableModelListener;
import javax.swing.table.*;

// try 2
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTable;
import javax.swing.table.AbstractTableModel;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.GridLayout;

// try 3
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.util.List;

import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.TableModelEvent;
import javax.swing.event.TableModelListener;
import javax.swing.table.*;

// try 4
import javax.swing.table.AbstractTableModel;
import javax.swing.table.TableModel;
import javax.swing.event.TableModelListener;
import javax.swing.event.TableModelEvent;


I still get the same errors!

Looks like a package error I would think.

You need to put the TableSorter class downloaded from the link into the same package as your code, and any other classes required from that link.
