JTable - Enable filtering but disable sorting

[Payam Fard]

Hi all,

I have a jtable for which I would like to have filtering capabilities but disable sorting. Right now, I can filter the values shown in the table but user can also click on the table header to sort the values. How I can disable sorting while keeping the filtering?

Thanks.

To get better help sooner, post a SSCCE (Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable) example that demonstrates the problem.

Also, read the API for DefaultRowSorter -- there's a method that determines whether each column is sortable.

How can I disable sorting on the following code while keeping the filtering?

Thanks.

1. Where's that SSCCE?
2. How many methods are declared in the DefaultRowSorter class?
3. Of those, how many are mutators?
4. What does each of those mutators set?

Did you figure out how to solve this problem? I too would like to filter out some rows, but not have the table sorted when you click the header. I was thinking about resorting to a glass pane over the headers.

The answer to this one is still the same:
