Problem with sorting and filtering a JTable

[John Sutt]

Dear Ranchers,

I have extended JTable with a table class that makes use of both a rowsorter (CustomTableSorter) as well
as a custom row filter (CustomRowFilter).
The problem I'm having is that, if the filter is changed (other rows are being displayed, more or less rows possible),
the sorting should be re-done.

I know the tableChanged method is called after the filter is changed - I verified this.
However, although setRowSorter(sorter) below is also executed, the sorting is often still not correct.

I guess I have to do more to make the JTable re-do its sorting (using the installed row sorter),
but what method should I call for that?

Thanks for any help.

 
    private void updateRowSorter() {
        if (enableAutoSorter) {
            CustomTableSorter<TableModel> sorter = new CustomTableSorter<TableModel>(
                    getModel());
            setRowSorter(sorter);
        } else {
            setRowSorter(null);
        }

        TableRowSorter<TableModel> sorter = (TableRowSorter<TableModel>) getRowSorter();
        if (sorter != null) {
            RowFilter filter = new CustomRowFilter();
            sorter.setRowFilter(filter);
        }
    }

    public void tableChanged(TableModelEvent e) {
        updateRowSorter();
        super.tableChanged(e);
    }

Why don't you use a JXTable, is a table where you use ordering at runtime.

Hi Eugenio,

Thanks for your reply.
I will certainly have a look at it, maybe I can find out how to do it by looking at its source.

It's for learning purposes though, so I'd like to figure out how to get it working by only using
JTable.

John.

Perhaps you can use DefaultRowSorter's sort() method. TableRowSorter inherits this method.
