Interface SortableTableModel

All Superinterfaces:

TableModel

All Known Subinterfaces:

ExtendedSortableTableModel

All Known Implementing Classes:

EmptyTableModel, SortableTableModelProxy

public interface SortableTableModel
extends TableModel

The SortableTableModel extends a TableModel by methods that are required to order the model by a certain column.

A simple way to use the SortableTableModel is to use a classic TableModel and pass it to a SortableTableModelProxy, which will take care for the sorting.
