re: I don't understand how SortedList and TableComparatorChooser work together

I'm pretty sure that TableComparitorChooser is actually swapping out the comparator on your sorted list.

Hi people. I don't understand how SortedList and TableComparatorChooser work
together.

I have objects that get added to a SortedList that represent (via my
TableFormat) a row in a table. The SortedList uses this object to sort, and
if I just use a standard JTable, whenever an object is added to my list, it
gets added to my table in the appropriate position. Everything works exactly
as I would expect.

Now I install a TableComparatorChooser on my JTable. If I start my
application, I see items being added to the table in the correct position
given my SortedList as before. However, if I now click on one of the
columns, it sorts not using my SortedList but by using the objects in the
column I clicked on. In my case they are all strings and so get sorted using
the standard string comparator.

I don't understand why the TableComparatorChooser requires a SortedList if
once the user clicks on a column, it gets sorted by th e objects it contains.
Why isn't it possible to use an EventList?

It feels like I'm missing something obvious, but I think that SortedList and
TableComparatorChooser completely work against each other and should be
separated.

Have I completely missed the point?

Thanks, Nick.
