EVENT_SORT for table control

[Wolfgang]

Hello,

the built-in sort popup of a table control is quite convenient, allowing to sort columns without any programming However, imho it would be useful to allow notifying the program of such a sort event. It appears though, that the EVENT_SORT is available only for tree controls... As a consequence, if I would like to be notified I need to use the function SortTableCells and do everything myself.

Is there a more convenient workaround?

And just out of curiosity, why is there no sort event for the table control?

You could use a tree instead. You can configure a tree with multiple columns to look like a table. Check out the attached uir.

Thank you, jared, for the visual comparison!

For the short term this is not an option for me - I have just started to familiarize myself with the table control, and the tree control seems even more complex... It appears to be a superset - is there anything that the table control can do what the tree can't achieve?

For the not so short term I have filed a product suggestion here

Thanks, Wolfgang
